A Te Kuiti man was injured after his quad bike rolled on a farm near the town.

The 42-year-old was stabilised at the scene by the Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter's on-board intensive care paramedic after they were called to the scene just after 2pm on Thursday.

The man had suffered a dislocated hip and a facial injury.

Once stabilised he was airlifted to Waikato Hospital for further assessment and treatment.

It's the second incident this week involving a quad bike. On Wednesday a 9-year-old boy died when his quad bike rolled as he rounded up stock on his parent's Te Awamutu farm.
