Woman airlifted after falling four metres down cliff

The Toowoomba-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter has airlifted a woman, after she fell down a cliff, while reportedly rock climbing, this morning.

The rescue helicopter was called to an area, in the Scenic Rim region, just after 11am today.

Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics initially treated the woman, aged in her 20s, before the aeromedical crew arrived.

She was then transferred into the helicopter and flown to the Princess Alexandra Hospital, with back injuries.

The woman travelled in a stable condition, under the care of the RACQ LifeFlight Rescue Critical Care Doctor and QAS Flight Paramedic.
