A motorcyclist has been airlifted to Dunedin Hospital with serious injuries after crashing north of Palmerston this afternoon. St John spokesman Gerard Campbell said they were contacted at 2.09pm, after a report a motorcycle had left Horse Range Rd and gone down a bank near Trotters Gorge. The man sustained serious injuries. Mr Campbell said he was unable to disclose the nature of the man’s injuries or his age. A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said crews from Palmerston and Waikouaiti had earlier been sent to the scene to prepare a landing site for the helicopter.
