The Toowoomba-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew yesterday airlifted a teenager to hospital when a cattle truck and the utility she was in collided.
The LifeFlight helicopter was tasked by Retrieval Services Queensland at 2.36pm and landed in a nearby paddock in the Toowoomba region.
The woman had to be extricated from the vehicle by Queensland Fire Department.
Two LifeFlight critical care doctors and a Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) flight paramedic worked with local QAS paramedics to stablise the patient.
She was treated for head and leg injuries and flown to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in a life-threatening condition.
