The Bundaberg-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew today airlifted a woman to hospital after she was bitten on the foot by a snake while bushwalking.
The LifeFlight helicopter was tasked at 11am by Retrieval Services Queensland to a beach walking track at Cooloola in the Gympie region and the crew was able to land nearby.
It’s believed the woman’s husband applied a pressure bandage before local Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics arrived.
She was treated on scene and flown to Hervey Bay Hospital in a stable condition for further treatment.
