That young man is 14-year-old Nathan from Bundaberg.

Nathan took part in the Bridge to Brisbane elite wheelchair event to raise funds for the Sporting Wheelies and Disabled Association.

Nathan has cerebral palsy and wanted to compete in his first road race in Brisbane by entering the Bridge to Brisbane.

Nathan was racing on the course near the front of the field when he crashed into a barrier at reportedly 28 km/hr.

Nathan’s father Paul said Nathan went over the barrier and did a complete flip before landing.

Nathan received minor injuries and was helped back into his chair by a police woman nearby.

That officer was Acting Sergeant Dani De-Waal from Upper Mount Gravatt Station.

After seeing the crash, Acting Sergeant De-Waal ran to give aid to Nathan, whose wheelchair was so badly damaged he could not continue on in the Bridge to Brisbane.

Even after knowing he could not finish the event, he still was still able to express his appreciation of the help rendered by Acting Sergeant De-Waal and got his father to take the picture of them together.
