The Roma-based Surat Gas Aeromedical Service (SGAS) helicopter crew has winched a woman to safety in the Scenic Rim region this afternoon.
The woman, aged in her 50s, was bushwalking solo when she became lost in steep terrain.
The crew was tasked to the scene at around 1pm after the woman called Triple Zero (000).
They spoke to her via phone and were guided to her location with support from Queensland Police Service (QPS).
The pilot was able to hover the chopper above, before she was winched into the aircraft from the side of the mountain.
She was treated for minor abrasions by the aeromedical crew, before being airlifted to awaiting QPS officers for transport, in a clearing nearby.
Tasked by Queensland Health, the LifeFlight SGAS helicopter and crew performed this mission as part of the SGAS partners’ commitment to providing community aeromedical coverage.
