A middle-aged man has been taken to hospital in a critical condition after an incident involving a car and a motorbike on the M4 Motorway this morning.
The Mounties Care CareFlight Rapid Response Helicopter was tasked by NSW Ambulance shortly after 8am. NSW Police were also on the scene. The helicopter landed on the motorway at 8:15am to drop off the CareFlight doctor and NSW Ambulance paramedic.
NSW Ambulance paramedics worked alongside CareFlight’s medical team to treat the patient. CareFlight’s specialist doctor and NSW Ambulance critical care paramedic performed a clinical assessment including ultrasound and blood transfusion, and provided pain relief and treatment for injuries to the abdomen, pelvis and upper arms. The man was then transported by road ambulance to Westmead Hospital in a critical condition, accompanied by the CareFlight doctor.
