A MAN who was hurt when his motorcycle careered into a ditch this afternoon has been airlifted to Kerry General Hospital for treatment.
The victim, understood to be in his late 60s, was taking part in a vintage motorcycle rally that had passed through Killarney earlier in the day.
The accident occurred at Ballaghisheen Pass in Dromid and it is understood that the man suffered a broken leg.
A Shannon Coastguard helicopter was tasked to transfer the casualty to Kerry General where he was treated for his injuries.
It was the third time this Friday that the air ambulance was summoned to the scene of separate incidents in the county.
A man was rescued after he fell ill while diving in the Maherees and was transferred to Galway for specialist treatment while a man in his 40s was taken to Kerry General after he sustained injuries in a fall in Castlegregory.
