LifeFlight airlifts boy to hospital after tractor crash

The Bundaberg-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew airlifted a young boy to hospital tonight after a tractor incident.

The boy was on a tractor with his father when it lost control and he jumped off cutting his leg on the slasher.

The LifeFlight helicopter was tasked at 6.10pm to the Bundaberg region and landed at a private property near the scene.

The Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) flight paramedic worked with local QAS paramedics to treat the boy for a serious laceration to his right leg.

He was airlifted to Bundaberg Hospital for further treatment.

The Bundaberg-based LifeFlight helicopter and crew service the Wide Bay-Burnett region and beyond.
