A 30-year-old man was medically evacuated from Alamagan to Saipan early Monday by the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Oliver Henry. 

The man, who suffered from head and neck injuries, was transported by the coast guard with help from local authorities. He was brought to safety on Saipan, where medical personnel and his family were waiting at the port. 

Alamagan is 140 nautical miles north of Saipan. 

Lt. Freddy Hofschneider, commanding officer of USCGC Oliver Henry said, "It was all hands on deck throughout the night to safely transport the injured member to Saipan during the 14-hour journey from Saipan to Alamagan and back."
