LifeFlight airlifts woman after horse fall

The Sunshine Coast-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew airlifted a woman to hospital this morning after a horse fall.

The LifeFlight helicopter was tasked at 10.38am by Retrieval Services Queensland to a rural property in the Western Downs region and landed in a paddock near the scene.

The critical care LifeFlight doctor and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) flight paramedic worked with local QAS paramedics to treat the patient for a suspected collarbone fracture.

The female patient was airlifted to Sunshine Coast University Hospital for further treatment.
