LifeFlight airlifts man after two-vehicle crash

The Bundaberg-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew today airlifted a man to hospital after a two-vehicle crash.

The LifeFlight helicopter was tasked at 2.35pm by Retrieval Services Queensland to a road in the Gladstone region and landed in a paddock near the scene.

The critical care LifeFlight doctor and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) flight paramedic worked with local QAS paramedics to assess a man in his 70s.

He was airlifted to Bundaberg Hospital for further treatment, while the female driver of the other vehicle was road transported by QAS paramedics to Bundaberg Hospital.

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