A man has been airlifted from a forestry area north of Dargaville.
The man, understood to be a forestry worker, had parked his ute at the end of Middleton Rd in Mamaranui yesterday, when it began to roll slowly away.
A forestry company spokesman said as the man reached in and applied the handbrake, he slipped and pulled a hamstring.
At the time, there were concerns the man may have damaged his pelvis.
A Northland Rescue Helicopter spokesman said the helicopter responded at about 7.35am and was on scene at about 8.10am.
