The Toowoomba-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter crew has airlifted a man to hospital, after he was critically injured in a two-vehicle crash in the Western Downs region.
The man, aged in his 80s, is believed to have been driving a vehicle south-west of Dalby, when it collided with a cattle truck, causing him to become trapped.
The rescue chopper was tasked about 6pm (8th Dec).
The pilot landed the aircraft on the road, which had been closed to traffic by Queensland Police Service (QPS) officers.
The RACQ LifeFlight Rescue Critical Care Doctor and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) Flight Paramedic worked alongside local QAS paramedics to treat the man for chest injuries.
He was then flown to Toowoomba Hospital in a critical condition.
