Newcastle CREST\u2019s Tristan Blackburn took  the call and relayed the details to the emergency services. NSW  Ambulance, the Westpac Rescue Helicopter, Police Rescue &amp; SES  responded to free the occupant.<\/p>\n<p>Media reports indicated that the  Land Rover was on the top of a sand dune when the driver&#8217;s side wheels  went off the edge and caused the car to roll. The 23 year old female  passenger was believed to have been thrown from the vehicle before it  rolled onto her. The woman was transferred to hospital in critical  condition.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Blackburn said \u201cOur UHF repeater gives good  coverage of the Stockton Beach area. We have received a number of calls  from that area because most four wheel drivers have a UHF radio and call  us when they don&#8217;t have phone coverage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Newcastle CREST monitors the 5 \/ 35 Emergency  repeater located at Charlestown NSW.
