Quad bike accident at Bigga nearly takes youngsters hand off

Goulburn Police are reminding people about the dangers of quad bikes after a young male almost severed his hand on a property at Bigga last Friday afternoon.

As the quad rolled the rider placed his hands on the roll bar which came down and crushed his hand.

The SES first responded to the accident with the youngster eventually flown to Westmead children’s Hospital where he underwent surgery.

Police say he was wearing a seat belt and a helmet at the time.
