Chopper crew battle storm to rescue crash victim

An emergency helicopter crew has tackled difficult weather conditions in the middle of the night to get an accident victim to hospital.

The Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter Team was called to a serious car crash at Norsewood shortly after 10pm.

A man in his late twenties was in a serious condition after his car left the road, leaving him with multiple fractures, and internal as well as external injuries.

The chopper crew used night vision goggles to airlift him in strong winds and rain to Palmerston North Hospital.
