The LifeFlight Sunshine Coast-based aeromedical crew airlifted a motorcyclist to hospital on Thursday 28 November after he crashed on the Old Bruce Highway in the Noosa region.

The rescue helicopter was tasked to the incident at Federal at 4pm.

The road was closed off so the helicopter could land on the highway near the scene.

The LifeFlight critical care doctor and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) flight paramedic worked with local QAS paramedics to treat the man for head and chest injuries.

The patient, aged in his 60s, was airlifted to Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in a critical condition.
