The Land Rover LifeFlight Special Mission helicopter has flown an injured motorcyclist to hospital, after a collision with a wild pig, in the South Burnett.
It’s believed the animal ran out in front of the motorbike, causing its two riders to crash.
The rescue helicopter was tasked just after 11pm last night (1 September) and flew to an airfield near the crash scene.
The riders were transported to the landing site by the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS).
The man, aged in his 30s, was treated for chest injuries and airlifted to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital.
He travelled in a stable condition.
The Land Rover LifeFlight Special Mission helicopter performed this mission as it is currently, temporarily based on the Sunshine Coast, while the familiar blue and yellow RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter undergoes scheduled engineering.
The aircraft is part of LifeFlight Australia’s commercial operation, which supports the work of the community helicopter fleet, through our profit-for-purpose model and is rotated through our community bases from time to time, when operationally required.
