LifeFlight airlifts man to hospital after tractor incident

The Sunshine Coast-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew has airlifted a man to hospital following a tractor incident.

It is believed a man in his 60s was working on a farm yesterday when the incident occurred.

The LifeFlight helicopter was tasked at 8:05am to the South Burnett region near Proston and landed in a paddock near the scene.

The LifeFlight critical care doctor and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) flight paramedic worked with local QAS paramedics to treat the patient for suspected torso, back and abdomen injuries.

He was airlifted to Toowoomba Hospital in a stable condition.
