Mountain-biker, 12, rescued in Upper Hutt Last updated 08:37 04/04/2012 A 12-year-old girl who broke her leg mountain-biking in a remote forestry area in Upper Hutt was rescued by four-wheel-drive ambulance last night. Wellington Free Ambulance Rescue said it was alerted to the accident in the Blue Mountains area at 6.30pm. The girl had suffered a broken leg when she fell from her bike about 1km from the nearest road-end. Wellington Free Ambulance team leader rescue Aaron Hartle said the accident happened in a fairly remote area. ''It was a wet, muddy, unsealed four wheel drive track, the guys had to go up a tricky side road to get access.'' The girl was treated at the scene and driven to a waiting road ambulance and then transferred to hospital to be assessed. |
