The Sunshine Coast-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter crew has flown an injured man to hospital, after he was involved in a serious single-vehicle crash in the Tweed Shire, this afternoon. 

It’s believed the man, who is aged in his 30s, was one of two passengers in the ute. 

The rescue chopper was called to the scene, just after 4pm (Saturday, 8th October). 

The RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter pilot landed the aircraft in a field near the scene, where the aeromedical crew met with local NSW Ambulance paramedics. 

The man was treated for abdominal and pelvic injuries.

He was flown to Gold Coast University Hospital, under the supervision of the RACQ LifeFlight Rescue Critical Care Doctor, in a stable condition. 

Another man was flown to hospital by QGAir.
