At 11:45am on Wednesday 19 October 2011 Tasmania Police Search and Rescue were notified of a seriously injured male on Richardsons Road, Murdunna.

The 20 year old Dodges Ferry man had been involved in a trail bike crash on Richardsons Road and had seriously injured his left leg.

An ambulance was unable to reach his location by road so the Westpac Police Rescue Helicopter was tasked to attend.

The helicopter was able to land nearby and a four wheel drive police vehicle assisted the male to the helicopter.  The man was then flown to the Royal Hobart Hospital.
