Westpac: Polo Player

THE Westpac Rescue helicopter has flown to Muswellbrook to attend to a 18 year old female who fell from a horse during a polo game.

The patient has sustained neck and back injuries and will be flown to the John Hunter hospital in Newcastle.

UPDATE: Initial information from the Westpac Rescue helicopter was the injured rider was a polo player. However sources at the state championship polocrosse event have said it was a polocrosse player. Unfortunately in the first instance we have to rely on official information from the emergency services.
