This Afternoon the Life Flight Trust responded to Castle point in the Wairarapa, to a 59yr old female who had been climbing off of a boat which was on a trailer when she fell approximately 2m onto the sand.
Life Flight responded with Two Wellington Free Paramedics on board the Westpac Rescue Helicopter.
The Helicopter was able to land on the beach near to where the patient was.
She was complaining of pain to her shoulder and leg and with possible fracture to her wrist.
The patient was flown to Wellington Hospital Emergency Department where she is being treated for her injuries.
