RACQ LifeFlight helicopter crews have flown three people to hospital, after being called to respond to three separate motor vehicle incidents, in the space of six hours on Sunday.
The first, saw the rescue chopper called to a recreational racing track, north-west of Toowoomba, just before 10am.
It’s believed a man, in his 20s, was riding his motorcycle at the track when he attempted a jump and fell from his bike.
The aeromedical team, along with local paramedics, treated him for head and facial injuries, before he was airlifted to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in a stable condition.
Moments after returning to base, the same rescue chopper crew was called to a single-vehicle crash, south of Toowoomba.
The pilot was able to land on the road, at the scene, allowing the aeromedical team to quickly join local paramedics, Queensland Fire and Emergency Service personnel and police officers in treating a woman, in her 50’s who was a passenger in the vehicle.
It’s believed the car she was in crashed into a tree.
She was flown to Toowoomba Hospital in a stable condition, suffering suspected spinal injuries.
The Queensland Government Air helicopter was also there.
At the same time, the Roma LifeFlight helicopter crew was called to assist a man involved in a single-vehicle rollover, north-west of Toowoomba.
It’s believed the man, who is aged in his 60s, was travelling in a car, when one of its tyres blew out, causing the vehicle to crash.
The LifeFlight pilot landed the helicopter at a sporting field, where they were met by paramedics, who’d transported the patient from the scene.
The man was transferred to the helicopter, then flown to Toowoomba hospital in a stable condition, suffering suspected head injuries.
