LifeFlight airlifts survivor to hospital after single-vehicle crash

The Toowoomba-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter crew has airlifted a man to hospital, after he was seriously injured in a single-vehicle crash, in the Western Downs region overnight.

It’s believed the man was driving along a highway, west of Toowoomba, when he reportedly crashed into a power pole.

The rescue chopper was tasked to the scene, shortly before 11pm (Sunday, 30th April).

The pilot landed on a road near the crash site, which had been closed to traffic by Queensland Police Service (QPS) officers.

The RACQ LifeFlight Rescue aeromedical crew worked with local Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics to treat the patient.

The man, aged in his 20s, suffered multiple traumatic injuries.

He was flown to Toowoomba Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
