The rescue chopper was tasked to the scene, shortly before 2:00pm (Saturday,17th June).

Once on scene, the aeromedical crew met with local Queensland Fire and Emergency Service (QFES) personnel and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics to treat the man for multiple fractures and spinal injuries.

He was flown to Sunshine Coast University Hospital for further assessment.
