CareFlight’s rapid response rescue helicopter was called shortly before 1.30pm, landing in the street at the scene within 20 minutes.
NSW Ambulance paramedics arrived shortly later by road and assisted the CareFlight medical team.
CareFlight’s specialist doctor and critical care paramedic treated the man at the scene for injuries to the head and arm.
The patient was then flown to Westmead Hospital in a stable condition.
