LifeFlight airlifts woman critically injured in serious crash

The Brisbane-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter crew has airlifted a woman to hospital, after she was injured in a serious two-vehicle crash in the Somerset region, on Saturday morning.

It’s believed the two vehicles crashed at an intersection, causing one of the cars to land on its side.

The rescue chopper was called to assist just before 8:30am (Saturday, 11th February).

The RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter pilot landed the aircraft on the road near the scene of the crash, where local Queensland Police Service (QPS) officers had closed the road.

The aeromedical crew met with local Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics to treat the patient for multiple injuries.

The woman, who is aged in her 50s, was flown to Princess Alexandra Hospital, in a critical condition.

A second patient was airlifted to hospital by Queensland Government Air.
