Press Release – Life Flight Trust
The Life Flight Trust this afternoon sent the Westpac Rescue Helicopter to the Rimutaka Hill Road, where a motorcyclist had parted company with his bike three miles north of the summit.

The patient was a 42 year old man from Wellington. It is believed that no other vehicles were involved.

The Police closed State Highway 2 at the Rimutaka summit briefly while the patient was transferred from a Wellington Free ambulance to the helicopter.

He was then flown to Wellington Hospital Emergency Department, where he was assessed for possible chest injuries.

The Life Flight Trust is a charity providing air rescue and air ambulance services. It operates the Wellington based Westpac Rescue Helicopter and a national air ambulance service. It relies on support from the public and sponsorship from partners such as Westpac to provide these services
