Man airlifted to hospital after bike crash

The Sunshine Coast-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew airlifted a man to hospital after a motorcycle crash in the Sunshine Coast hinterland on Thursday.

The LifeFlight helicopter was tasked by Retrieval Services Queensland at 12.15pm to a State Forest near Kenilworth and landed on a dirt road close to the scene.

The critical care LifeFlight doctor and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) flight paramedic worked with local QAS paramedics to treat the patient for a lower leg injury.

Rural Fire Service (RFS) and Queensland Fire Department (QFD) firefighters also attended the incident.

The patient, in his 60s, was airlifted in a stable condition to Sunshine Coast University Hospital for further treatment.
