A 12-year-old boy suffered head and limb injuries in an off-road motorbike accident at the Mount Kembla motocross track on Wednesday morning. The incident occurred about 11.15am when the boy landed heavily while attempting a jump.
NSW Ambulance Inspector Carolyn Margetts said the boy was conscious and breathing when paramedics arrived at the track off Harry Graham Drive. He sustained soft tissue injuries to his face and abrasions to his face and limbs.
The boy's parents rushed to the scene and watched as a CareFlight helicopter with a specialist medical team landed about 11.50am. He was airlifted to The Children's Hospital at Westmead in a stable condition.
This accident follows a separate crash at the same track three days earlier, in which two children were injured. A boy was treated for a fractured femur and ankle and airlifted to Sydney Children's Hospital in Randwick, while a teenage girl suffered a broken arm and was taken by road to Wollongong Hospital.
