THE WESTPAC Life Saver Rescue Helicopter was called to a Tomewin property this morning after a man fell about 10 metres from a balcony at about 6.30am (Friday, June 14).
The Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter media team were unsure of the man’s age and had initially reported the man fell down a property embankment, but later updated this information as a house balcony.
“Due to the density of the surrounding bush land the Ambulance NSW Critical Care Paramedic and aircraft Doctor were winched into the scene,” Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter media said.
“Once there they treated the man for leg , pelvis and back injuries.
“The man is currently being transported with the medical team by local VRA crews in a four-wheel-drive to the Murwillumbah airport.”
The man was reported to be in a stable condition.
The rescue helicopter was waiting to transport the male to the Gold Coast University Hospital.
