A girl has been flown to Wairau hospital in Blenheim with head injuries after a quad bike accident in the Marlborough Sounds on Sunday afternoon.

A Life Flight Helicopter and Wellington paramedic were called out, after the girl fell off the back of the vehicle.

A crew member, Logan Taylor, says the girl aged about 10 or 11 wasn't wearing a helmet.

But he says her head injuries are believed to be minor.
