Man airlifted after quadbike rollover

The Sunshine Coast-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter crew airlifted a man to hospital this afternoon, after the quadbike he was driving rolled.

The rescue chopper was tasked to the Bundaberg region just before 11am. 

The pilot and Aircrew Officer (ACO) were able to land the chopper in a paddock close to the incident.

The LifeFlight Rescue aeromedical team worked with local Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics to treat the patient on scene. 

The man, aged in his 50s, was flown to Bundaberg Hospital for further treatment.
