The Sunshine Coast-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter has airlifted a motorbike rider to hospital, after he was injured while attempting a jump, at a motocross track.

The crew was called to the scene, at a private property in the Gympie region, just after 1.30pm (Tuesday 22 September).

The RACQ LifeFlight Rescue Critical Care Doctor and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) Flight Paramedic joined other QAS paramedics in treating the patient.
