The Roma-based LifeFlight Surat Gas Aeromedical Service (SGAS) helicopter has airlifted a woman, after she was reportedly charged at and then crushed by a bull, south-west of Roma.
The rescue crew was called into action around 3.40 this afternoon (Wednesday 26 October).
The pilot landed the aircraft at the property and the medical team joined Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics in treating the patient.
The woman, aged in her 40s, had suffered injuries to her lower body.
She was flown to Roma Airport, before being transported by QAS paramedics to Roma Hospital by road.
The patient was in a serious but stable condition.
Tasked by Queensland Health, the LifeFlight SGAS helicopter and crew performed this mission as part of the SGAS partners’ commitment to assisting in providing the south west region and beyond, with community aeromedical coverage, by donating 150 flying hours each year.
With aircraft based in Roma and Toowoomba, the LifeFlight SGAS helicopter service is fully funded by the four SGAS partners.
