A male in his 70s was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter’s critical care medical team for multiple injuries after a 2-3 metre fall through a roof on Wednesday.
Westpac Rescue Helicopter media say they attended the scene at around 4.20pm Wednesday 18 February, after being called by NSW Ambulance to a rural property at Pumpenbil, in the Tweed Valley west of Murwillumbah.
They say the patient was stabilised before being airlifted to the Tweed Valley Hospital in a stable condition.
