A teenage boy was seriously injured when he fell from his mountain bike and was knocked unconscious yesterday.
The 14-year-old boy fell from his bike at Flemington, south of Waipukurau, about noon.
A Lowe Corporation Rescue Helicopter spokeswoman said the boy was found unconscious and airlifted by the helicopter to Hawke's Bay Regional Hospital in a serious condition.
A hospital spokeswoman said he remained in a serious condition in the hospital's intensive care unit yesterday afternoon.
The rescue helicopter crew was also put on standby on Saturday, when a paraglider was reported to have crashed on Te Mata Peak, but the call turned out to be a false alarm.
