Last night the Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter was tasked to a single vehicle accident near Kyogle. A 22yr old female reportedly suffered suspected spinal injuries and was flown to Princess Alexandra Hospital In Brisbane.
This was followed by the air lifting of a 83 year old male to Lismore base hospital this afternoon following a car and truck accident 16km west of Casino on the Bruxner Highway. He is in a stable condition with a chest injury. Police, ambulance and the Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter attended the scene at 1.40pm this afternoon.
The road is clear and open.
