LifeFlight airlifts man to hospital after horse fall

The Sunshine Coast-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew today airlifted a man after a horse incident in the Somerset region.

The LifeFlight helicopter was tasked at 9.52am by Retrieval Services Queensland and landed at a private property.

It is believed the man was riding on the property when he fell off the horse and it landed on top of him.

The critical care LifeFlight doctor and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) flight paramedic worked with local QAS paramedics to treat the patient for leg and pelvis injuries.

The man, in his 60s, was airlifted to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition for further treatment.
