The Tauranga-based TrustPower TECT rescue helicopter was called out to two serious accidents at the weekend.
The first was to Te Puke, where a 25-year-old woman had fallen off her motorcycle and fractured her shoulder.
The Morrinsville woman was on a trail ride and had to be stabilised at the scene by St John Ambulance officers.
On the chopper's arrival, another rider fractured his arm and the injured pair were flown to Tauranga Hospital.
Later that day, the helicopter was called to a remote rural property near Ruatoki, where a vehicle had rolled 80m down a bank.
