LifeFlight SGAS chopper airlifts injured motorcyclist

The rescue helicopter was called to the scene, in the Maranoa region, just after 1.30pm.

The aeromedical crew worked with Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics to treat the man for injuries to his chest.

The rider, aged in his 40s, was then flown to Roma Hospital, in a stable condition.

He travelled under the care of an RACQ LifeFlight Rescue Critical Care Doctor and a LifeFlight Paramedic.
