Trauma team flies to Central West's crashed biker (Oran Park)
An NRMA CareFlight flying trauma team treated a Central West rider who suffered serious injuries in a crash during bike races at Oran Park, in Sydney’s south-west, this afternoon.
The charity’s doctor worked with ambulance paramedics to stabilise the man before flying him to hospital.
The trauma team landed at the raceway minutes after the alert at 4.25 pm.
The NRMA CareFlight doctor said the 23-year-old man, from Orange, crashed on a bend during the final race of the day.
The rider suffered serious chest injuries and was unconscious when officials reached him.
After stabilisation the rider was flown by NRMA CareFlight under intensive care management to Liverpool Hospital where he was in a serious but stable condition on arrival.
The mission continued NRMA CareFlight’s 23-year tradition of providing medical support to people of the Central West and adjacent communities.
NRMA CareFlight’s rapid-response trauma team flies to seriously injured children and adults in the Greater Sydney, Southern Highlands, Blue Mountains and Central Coast.
The charity’s doctors also undertake state-wide medical retrieval services with the NSW Ambulance Service from bases at Bankstown and at Orange.
