The Mount Isa-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter has airlifted a man to hospital after he was injured while bull-riding, north east of Barkly.
The rescue chopper was called into action around 6.30pm last night (Saturday 17th Jun).
It’s believed the man had been riding the animal when it bucked him off, and then stood on his leg.
Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) arrived on scene first and treated the patient for a suspected broken leg.
The aeromedical crew assessed the man and prepared him for flight, before he was airlifted to Mount Isa Hospital for further treatment.
He was flown in a stable condition.
