The Toowoomba-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew today airlifted a man to hospital after being trapped under a 10-tonne truck in the Southern Downs.

It is believed the man was working on the vehicle when the incident occurred.

The chopper was tasked at 1.26pm by Retrieval Services Queensland and landed on an oval.

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

The patient, aged in his 30s, was airlifted to Toowoomba Hospital in a stable condition.
