At 3.20am on Saturday (December 18) the Westpac Rescue Helicopter was tasked by New South Wales Ambulance on a medical retrieval to Port Macquarie Hospital to transfer a 25 year old male to Royal North Shore Hospital suffering burns, a helicopter spokesperson said.
A NSW Ambulance spokesperson said the incident occurred at Wauchope and appears to have involved a car fire. The man sustained burns to his face.
Paramedics transported the man to Port Macquarie Base Hospital where he was assessed and provided emergency treatment.
The patient was stabilised by the John Hunter Hospital retrieval team prior to airlifting him to Sydney.
He was in a stable condition.
