The Sunshine Coast-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter airlifted a man to hospital, after he was critically injured in a single vehicle crash in the Noosa region early Sunday morning.
The driver of the vehicle, aged in his thirties, suffered traumatic injuries to his head and legs, after his van ran off the road and crashed into trees on Grahams Road and Louis Bazzo Drive at 3.41am, according to Queensland Ambulance Service.

An RACQ LifeFlight Rescue Critical Care doctor and a Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) flight paramedic had travelled by road to treat the patient.
The RACQ LifeFlight Rescue chopper flew the patient to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in a critical condition.
