Boy taken to hospital after quad bike accident
St John staff were called to a quad bike accident on Matakana Island last night.
A St John spokesperson said staff were called to the island about 10.15pm yesterday after a quad bike rolled over injuring a 15-year-old boy.
He was not seriously injured but was taken to Tauranga Hospital as a precaution.
Earlier yesterday the Trustpower TECT Rescue Helicopter was called to airlift a Matamata farmer to hospital.
Nathan Cleverley, 40, had been injured when his quad bike rolled on top of him 17 hours earlier but had been unable to go for help.
He was taken to Waikato Hospital with serious abdominal and pelvic injuries.
