A teenage girl was left in a serious condition when her off-roading adventures took a horror turn and her quad bike flipped and pinned her to the ground.
The 15-year-old was riding her 4WD buggy on the Upper Colo Reserve campsite in north west Sydney on Sunday at around 12.30pm when the vehicle crashed and rolled the teenager off the road.
Two ambulance teams and CareFlight personnel treated her at the scene for pelvic and arm injuries.

Once she was freed from the upturned vehicle, CareFlight’s specialist doctor and NSW Ambulance paramedics administered pain relief and conducted an ultrasound for her injuries.
She was rushed to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead by helicopter in a serious but stable condition.
Inspector Joe Ibrahm from NSW Ambulance said it’s ‘always confronting when treating a young patient’ and praised paramedics for their ‘excellent’ work.
‘This is a timely reminder that circumstances can change quickly and we encourage those enjoying off-road activities to take all necessary safety precautions,’ Mr Ibraham told the Daily Telegraph.
