The Sunshine Coast-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew today winched an injured hiker to safety, after he fell 15 metres while climbing a mountain.
The rescue chopper was tasked to the incident at the Glass House Mountains at 1:24pm.
It’s believed the man in his 20s was climbing up the main trail when he fell and broke his ankle.
The helicopter winched down the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) flight paramedic to assess the patient before he was airlifted to Sunshine Coast University Hospital.
