A 71-year-old man was airlifted to hospital with chest injuries on the weekend after he fell from a ladder at a home in Hazelbrook.
The accident happened on the afternoon of Saturday March 6. CareFlight's Rapid Response Helicopter was tasked by NSW Ambulance shortly before 3pm and landed in an oval near the scene where police assisted to pause a local cricket match.
NSW Ambulance paramedics were on scene providing initial treatment to the man as the aeromedical team arrived.
CareFlight's specialist doctor and NSW Ambulance critical care paramedic performed a clinical assessment on the man, including by ultrasound, and provided treatment for chest injuries.
The man was flown to Westmead Hospital in a stable condition.
