The Baytrust Rescue Helicopter was called to the Whakarewarewa Forest
Saturday afternoon at approximately 16:25pm to assist the Rotorua St.
John's Ambulance Service with an injured mountain biker.
The 34 year old Auckland man was mountain biking through the
Whakarewarewa Forest, approximately 7kms to the southeast of Rotorua,
with a small group of riders and came off his bike.
St. John's was initially called to the scene of the accident and
tended to the man's injuries. Due to the remote location of the
accident scene and the possiblity of spinal injury, the Baytrust
Rescue Helicopter was called to the scene to airlift the man from the
forest back to the Rotorua Hospital in a comfortable position.
