The Toowoomba-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew yesterday airlifted a woman to hospital after a farming incident.
The LifeFlight helicopter was tasked at 1.47pm by Retrieval Services Queensland to a farm in the Southern Downs Region and landed in a paddock close to the scene.
It is believed the woman became trapped in machinery for several hours before she was freed by Queensland Fire Department (QFD) officers.
The critical care LifeFlight doctor and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) flight paramedic worked with local QAS paramedics to treat the patient for a serious leg wound.
The woman, in her 30s, was airlifted to Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in a serious condition.
