15-year-old girl suffers serious injuries in fall from her horse on property near Warialda

The accident happened about 9am on Sunday on a property near the town.

Emergency services were told the 15-year-old was riding a horse when she fell and suffered serious head and back injuries.

Ambulance paramedics rushed to the property and due to the nature of her injuries, called for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter.

Paramedics then rushed the girl to Warialda hospital, where the chopper landed.

The helicopter's critical care medical team, which includes a doctor and paramedic, then assessed the girl.

She was stabilised and prepared for the flight.
