An 8-year-old boy is recovering in the John Hunter Hospital after a bad crash in the Manning Valley.
The boy was riding a trail bike on a property at Wingham on Sunday afternoon when he crashed into a fence, suffering a serious head injury.
He was transported to Taree Airport where he was treated and stabilised by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Critical Care Team.
However, due to the extent of his injuries, it was decided to transport the boy by road ambulance to Newcastle.
Meanwhile the rescue helicopter was called to a property at Jilliby on the Central Coast on Saturday where a 16-year-old boy had fallen from the motorbike.
He suffered minor injuries and was airlifted to the John Hunter Hospital in a stable condition.
