Seriously injured motorcyclist airlifted after crashing his bike

The Toowoomba-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter crew has flown a man to hospital, after he was seriously injured in a crash, involving a motorbike, in the Scenic Rim.

It’s believed the man, who is aged in his 70s, was riding the motorcycle when the bike veered off the road and crashed.

The rescue chopper was called to assist shortly before 12:30pm this afternoon (Sunday 2nd April).

The RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter pilot landed the aircraft near the scene of the crash, on a stretch of road which had been closed by Queensland Police Service (QPS) officers.

Once on scene, the aeromedical crew met with local Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics, to work together to treat the patient.

The man was treated for chest and possible head injuries, before being flown to Princess Alexandra Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
