NSW Ambulance Inspector Norm Rees said the patient sustained “serious” injuries after being thrown over the handlebars of her mountain bike.
“She has come off the mountain bike and gone over the handlebars and got some multiple fractures as a result,” Inspector Rees said.
“She has got a fractured femur and pelvis and some other major deformities.’’
The incident happened about 200 metres in the Tongarra bush just before 3pm.
‘’She’s been managed at the scene and because of her injuries we are relocating her to the Helo base and then she’s going to be flown to Sydney,’’ Mr Rees said.
The helicopter doctor will decide which hospital to take the women after assessing her injuries.
