Mark Webber
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sto...70-661,00.html
[A RESCUE helicopter is due to touch down any minute on Hobart's Domain, carrying injured F1 driver Mark Webber.
Webber was injured in a head-on collision with a car about 12.30pm while riding his bike south towards Port Arthur on the remote Tasmanian Peninsula.
Webber, who drives for Formula 1 team Red Bull Racing, was competing in his own charity event, the Mark Webber Pure Tasmania Challenge.
The helicopter, run by Tasmanian company Rotor-Lift, is about to complete the 25-minute flight to deliver Webber to hospital.
It is not yet known if he will be taken to the Royal Hobart Hospital or the Hobart Private Hospital.
Earlier, search and rescue police officer Damian Bidgood said Webber appeared to have a serious lower leg injury.
“Unfortunately he’s had a head-on,’’ Sgt Bidgood said.
“It will put him out of action for a while.’’
Rescuers are transporting Webber by road ambulance to a property known as Oakwood, just north of the site made infamous by gunman Martin Bryant during the 1996 Port Arthur massacre, Seascape.
A rescue helicopter is waiting on the oval at Port Arthur, just near the ruins of the historic convict site, waiting to fly to Oakwood to collect Webber.
He will then be flown to the Domain in Hobart and taken to hospital.
