LifeFlight crew airlifts man injured in quad bike crash

The Roma-based LifeFlight Surat Gas Aeromedical Service (SGAS) helicopter crew has airlifted a man who was injured in a quad bike incident in the Maranoa region.

The rescue chopper crew was tasked to assist at a private property just after 12:30pm.

Once on scene, the aeromedical crew met with local Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics to treat the man for chest injuries.

The man, who is aged in his 30s, was flown to Roma Airport, before being transported to hospital by QAS.

He flew in a stable condition, under the supervision of the RACQ LifeFlight Rescue Critical Care Doctor.

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.
