The Sunshine Coast-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter crew has airlifted a woman to hospital after a single-vehicle crash in the Somerset Region.
The rescue chopper was tasked to assist at 2pm (Sunday, September 24) and the pilot was able to land in a clearing, near a highway, close to the accident scene.
It is believed the driver lost control of her vehicle which veered off the road into a culvert.
Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics were first on the scene.
They treated the patient before transporting her to the chopper.
The woman, aged in her 60s, was flown to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition suffering neck and chest pain.
