The Roma-based LifeFlight Surat Gas Aeromedical Service (SGAS) helicopter has airlifted two patients who were injured in a collision between a truck and a car, in the Maranoa region.
It’s believed the man, who is aged in his thirties, and a female teenager, were both travelling in the car, which also rolled during the incident.
The SGAS helicopter crew was called to assist at around 2:30am.
The helicopter pilot landed the aircraft at the scene, where the RACQ LifeFlight Rescue Critical Care Doctor joined local Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics to treat the patients.
The pair was flown to Roma Airport in a stable condition, before being transported by road to Roma Hospital in a QAS vehicle.
The LifeFlight SGAS helicopter performed the mission, as part of the SGAS partners’ commitment to assisting in providing the south west region and beyond, with community aeromedical coverage, by donating 150 flying hours each year.
