LifeFlight airlifts injured man after animal incident

The Bundaberg-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew today airlifted a man following an animal incident.

The helicopter was tasked by Retrieval Services Queensland at 10.10am and landed at a property east of Taroom.

It is believed a man in his 60s was injured when he became entangled as two bulls began fighting.

The critical care LifeFlight doctor and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) flight paramedic worked with local QAS paramedics to treat the patient for chest and leg injuries.

He was airlifted to the LifeFlight Bundaberg base and road transported to Bundaberg Hospital in a stable condition.

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