RACQ LifeFlight Rescue airlifts man injured in truck rollover

The Sunshine Coast RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter has airlifted a man to hospital in Brisbane, after he was injured in a truck rollover, in the Somerset region this morning.

It’s believed the patient, who is aged in his 30s, was one of three people travelling in the vehicle, when it crashed.

The rescue chopper was called to the scene just before 11am.

The RACQ LifeFlight Rescue pilot was able to land the aircraft in a paddock, near where the incident happened.

A local Queensland Police Service (QPS) vehicle transported the aeromedical team closer to the scene.

The RACQ LifeFlight Rescue Critical Care Doctor and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) Flight Paramedic worked alongside local QAS paramedics to treat the patient, for multiple traumatic injuries.

He was flown to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, in a stable condition.
