Police are investigating after a 13 year old boy was injured in a motorbike crash on an East Coast fire trail yesterday.
Police were notified by Ambulance Tasmania about 11.30am in relation to a boy being injured in a motorbike crash and needing to be airlifted to Hobart.
The boy is believed to have been riding on fire trails with family members when he came off the bike.
After the crash, the boy was able to ride back to the Chain of Lagoons, and from there was airlifted to Hobart with serious but non life threatening injuries.
Members of the public are reminded that fire trails and forest roads are public streets and drivers must be licensed and using registered vehicles. The road rules apply on these roads as they do on any other.
Anyone with information about the incident should contact St Helens Police on 131444.
