The Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter was kept busy today after two motorcyclists who were injured in separate accidents on the north coast were airlifted to Lismore Base Hospital.
At around midday, a 38-year-old woman with a suspected spinal fracture was treated at the scene, a private property at Keith Hall south of Ballina, by paramedics before she was airlifted to the hospital where she was reported to be in a stable condition.
Then around 90 minutes later, the chopper crew responded to a call to fly to Woodenbong Oval to meet a paramedic and an 58-year-old man suffering limb injuries after a high-speed motorbike crash at Bonalbo.
He was also airlifted after being treated at the scene and later reported to be in a stable condition.
