Four people were flown to hospital after three motorbike accidents this weekend.

Two boys riding motorbikes collided on a beach and were both injured yesterday evening.

The accident happened on an isolated west coast beach south of Port Waikato yesterday evening, Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter staff said.

Both boys had suspected leg fractures. St. John paramedics treated the boys before they were flown to Middlemore Hospital, a Philips Search and Rescue Trust spokeswoman said.

The Waikato rescue helicopter was then sent to the scene of a motorbike accident on a farm near Karamu, west of Hamilton.

In that incident, a 25 year-old local farm worker fell off his bike.

St John paramedics treated the man before the Waikato rescue helicopter took him to Waikato Hospital.

The previous night, a teenage boy injured his back and neck after falling off a motorbike on a farm.

The 14 year-old had the accident in a hilly farm paddock near Morrinsville at 8pm on Friday.

Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter said the teenager was treated for his injuries, then flown to Waikato Hospital for more treatment.
