Around 11:20 p.m. last night the Westpac Rescue Helicopter was tasked by New South Wales Ambulance on a primary mission to Byron Bay.



A 20-year-old female had fallen through a roof skylight approximately 8 metres onto tiles sustaining a very serious head injury. 

The patient was initially treated on scene by NSWA paramedics before being transported by road ambulance to Byron Bay Hospital.

Due to her injuries the Helicopter Critical Care Medical Team placed her into a medically induced coma before airlifting her to Gold Coast University Hospital.

She was in a very serious condition.

No further details are available.
