The 16-year-old boy suffered severe lacerations to his arm when it smashed through a plate glass window.
He was treated at Tamworth hospital before the Westpac Rescue Helicopter was tasked at about 6.30am yesterday to transport the boy to John Hunter Hospital for specialist treatment.
It’s been a busy weekend for the chopper after it airlifted a man from Glen Innes to Tamworth on Saturday night with head injuries.
The 32-year-old was seriously injured when his quad bike rolled on Saturday afternoon, while a 53-year-old man was flown from Armidale hospital to Tamworth with chest problems about 1.45am on Saturday.
On Friday, the helicopter completed two missions – airlifting a 42-year-old woman to hospital after a crash near Walcha and also assisting police in the search for a missing woman between Coledale and Bective.
