The Sunshine Coast-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter crew has airlifted two patients to hospital, after they were injured in a crash on a beach in the Noosa region, this afternoon.
The pilot landed the aircraft near the scene on the beach, where the aeromedical crew met with local Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics to treat the patients.
It’s believed the 4WD had been driving along the beach when it swerved to avoid an unknown object, causing it to roll several times.
One patient, a male in his 20s, suffered suspected spinal injuries and a possible head injury.
The second patient, a female aged in her 20s, suffered cuts and abrasions.
Both were airlifted to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition.
