Man rescued from mountain bike trail
Westpac Helicopter to the rescue
Overnight on Wednesday, March 15, Westpac Rescue Helicopter was tasked by NSW Ambulance on a primary mission to Kincumber following reports of a man who had fallen heavily from his mountain bike in the bush. He had been riding on the mountain biking trail known as Doyle St Climb, which is a steep bitumen climb from the locked gate on Doyle St and turns into a fairly overgrown track of loose dirt and gravel to the quarry. Ambulance Paramedics and a Fire and Rescue team were on
the scene for an extended period due to the difficulty of accessing the injured man. The man was treated for suspected spinal injuries before being driven by 4WD Ambulance to rendezvous with the Westpac Rescue Helicopter and Critical Care Medical team at the landing area at nearby Frost Reserve in Kincumber. His condition was stabilised and the helicopter departed for Royal North Shore Hospital where he was to receive further treatment. Sue Murray
