LifeFlight airlifts girl after quad bike accident

The Sunshine Coast-based aeromedical crew airlifted a girl to hospital last night after she was run over by a quad bike. 

It is believed the primary school aged girl was a passenger of the quad bike, driven by her friend on a private property in the Gympie region.

The patient is understood to have fallen off and under the quad bike when the rear wheel rolled over her chest.

Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics treated her at the scene for chest injuries including possible broken ribs and drove her to the LifeFlight helicopter, which landed at a school oval at 7.30pm.

The girl was airlifted to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition.
