A couple of friends on mobility scooters were travelling along a forestry road when one of the scooters had a brake failure. This resulted in the scooter rolling back and off the edge of the road. After a backward somersault and being flipped off the scooter the woman came to rest about 10m down the slope trapped underneath the hefty machine. Miraculously she was unharmed as she was fortunate enough to end up in the footwell area between the seat and handlebars. The police were first on scene and managed to move the scooter off the woman. Keswick MRT assistance was requested to extricate the woman to an awaiting ambulance. She was checked over by the paramedics and subsequently discharged. Keswick team then went on to retrieve the scooter.
