Previous – Monday, September 25:
The Westpac Rescue Helicopter has been tasked on a primary mission to Inverell Hospital to rendezvous with an ambulance transporting a 13-year-old boy and a three-year-old boy with injuries sustained in a quad bike accident at Delungra.
At this stage both boys appear to have minor injuries but due to the mechanism the helicopter has been called and the medical crew will access them. The younger boy is reported to have lacerations on his head.
