RACQ LifeFlight Rescue airlifts injured motorcyclist

The Sunshine Coast-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter crew has flown an injured motorcyclist to hospital, after he collided with a jet ski trailer.

The aeromedical team was called to a coastal town in the Gympie region around 11.30am on Monday 13 March.

The crew landed at an oval near the incident scene, where the man had been transported to by Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics.

The RACQ LifeFlight Rescue Critical Care Doctor and QAS Flight Paramedic worked with local paramedics to treat the man for leg injuries.

The patient, who is aged in his 60s, was then flown to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

He was in a stable condition.
