A little girl is being praised for her quick thinking and life saving actions after helping to save her mother in a quad bike crash north of Gloucester yesterday.
The 4-year-old girl witnessed her mother's quad bike roll several times down a steep slope yesterday afternoon leaving her trapped in the wreckage.
The pre-schooler ran to her mum and comforted her, falling and suffering a graze to her face along the way - before climbing back up the embankment and returning home to call triple-zero.
The 35-year-old mum was trapped for more than two hours before she was freed and flown to the John Hunter Hospital by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter.
The woman was flown in a stable condition, sustaining a broken leg and lacerations from the accident.
Police say the little girl will be formally acknowledged for her life saving actions.
It comes only days after the state government urged Hunter farmers to be safe when riding quad bikes and take advantage of free quad bike training to reduce the number of injuries and deaths on rural properties.
