RICHMOND, Western Sydney, NSW, Australia – A multi-vehicle collision on the Bells Line of Road has landed a 17-year old boy in hospital in serious condition.
The crash occurred just before six o’clock on Saturday night, on the Bells Line of Road, east of North Richmond Bridge, in Western Sydney.
NSW Police were required to stop a cricket game at Panthers North Richmond to allow the helicopter to land, before conveying CareFlight’s medical team to the scene.
SES crews worked carefully to free the young man, who remained trapped in one of the vehicles for about 30 minutes.
CareFlight’s specialist doctor and critical care paramedic assessed and provided treatment to the boy who suffered injuries to his lower body.
Observation was continued by the CareFlight medical team as he was transported by ambulance to Westmead in a serious but stable condition.
CareFlight’s medical team also assessed two other patients who were transported to hospital via road under the observation of NSW Ambulance crews.
CareFlight’s medical team praised the effort of all emergency services involved.
