Man airlifted to hospital after single vehicle rollover

The Toowoomba-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter crew has flown a man to hospital, after he was injured in a single vehicle rollover south west of Toowoomba, overnight.

The rescue chopper crew was tasked to assist shortly after midnight (Saturday 24th June) and the pilot was able to land on the highway, which had been closed by Queensland Police Service (QPS) officers.

The RACQ LifeFlight Rescue Critical Care Doctor and the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) Flight Paramedic worked with local QAS paramedics to treat the man, for hip and abdominal injuries.

The patient, aged in his 60s, was airlifted to Toowoomba Hospital in a stable condition.
