Tramper injured by glass

A woman was airlifted to Nelson Hospital from Furneaux Lodge in the Marlborough Sounds after she apparently fell on to glass. Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter duty pilot Tim Douglas-Clifford said he flew a woman with a severe laceration to her wrist from the lodge at Endeavour Inlet in Queen Charlotte Sound about 7pm on Tuesday. The woman was walking the Queen Charlotte Track with another person, and apparently slipped and fell on glass, Douglas-Clifford said. He did not know where the incident occurred. St John Ambulance said it was alerted at 7.10pm, and the patient was in a moderate condition.
