LifeFlight airlift patient from flood affected town

The Mount Isa-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew airlifted a woman to hospital yesterday afternoon with a medical condition.

The rescue helicopter was tasked to a remote town in the Shire of Cloncurry at 5.18pm.

Due to the flood waters, the patient was unable to leave to seek medical assistance.

The aircraft landed on a stretch of road in the town, where the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) flight paramedic treated the patient on scene.

The woman was flown to Mount Isa Hospital for further treatment.
