LifeFlight airlifts man after ATV crash

The Sunshine Coast-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew airlifted a man near Lake Borumba last night to hospital after an ATV rollover.

The LifeFlight helicopter crew was tasked at 6.17pm and landed on a private property close to the incident.

It is believed the man in his 50s had crashed in the morning but wasn’t found until late afternoon.

The LifeFlight critical care doctor and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) flight critical care paramedic worked alongside local QAS paramedics to treat the patient for a significant leg injury.

He was flown to Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH) in a stable condition.
