He’d suffered lower limb injuries an was flown in a stable condition to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital.
It’s the third motorbike crash the Sunshine Coast RACQ LifeFlight Rescue crew has attended in 24 hours.
Yesterday (August 28th), the aeromedical crew was sent to Mary Valley, to airlift a man who’d crashed his dirt bike in a state forest.
He was flown to the Princess Alexandra Hospital with suspected spinal injuries.
Later that evening, the crew was then tasked to another motorbike accident, in the Fraser Coast region.
