A car accident, a burned leg and a head injury after a fall from a horse were all situations a helicopter rescue crew dealt with over the past week.
The Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter team was called out to Waverley on May 1, after a woman in her 20s fell from a horse and suffered head injuries.
She was flown to Palmerston North Hospital.
Then on Wednesday, May 4, a man in his 20s suffered burns to his leg at Ohakea.
Pilot Chris Moody said they did not know how the man received the burns.
