A 96-year-old woman has sustained head and leg injuries when she was run over by a vehicle in her Umina Beach driveway.
CareFlight’s Rapid Response Helicopter was called by NSW Ambulance paramedics shortly before midday from the Westmead hangar and landed 20 minutes later on Umina Oval.
Paramedics had provided initial treatment for the woman and transported her to the park to meet CareFlight’s clinical team.
CareFlight’s specialist doctor and a NSW Ambulance critical care paramedic performed a clinical assessment on the woman, including an ultrasound to examine her head and limb injuries.
The clinical team continued providing care as the woman was flown in a stable condition to Royal North Shore Hospital.
