LifeFlight airlifts driver injured in serious crash

The Land Rover LifeFlight Special Mission helicopter crew has flown a man to hospital, after he was involved in a single vehicle crash on the Fraser Coast this morning.

It’s believed the SUV veered off the road, before crashing into a tree.

The man, who is aged in his 20s, was the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle.

The rescue helicopter was called to the scene, just after 8:30am (Saturday, 13th August).

The RACQ LifeFlight Rescue Critical Care Doctor and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) Flight Paramedic met with local QAS paramedics to treat the patient for head and possible spinal injuries.

Local Queensland Police Service (QPS) officers and Queensland Fire and Emergency Service (QFES) personnel were also on scene when the aeromedical crew arrived.

The man was flown to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition.

The Land Rover LifeFlight Special Mission helicopter is currently based at the Sunshine Coast.
