The Roma-based LifeFlight Surat Gas Aeromedical Service (SGAS) helicopter has airlifted a man, after he was injured in a quad bike accident, while mustering cattle, in the Central Highlands region.
It’s believed the man aged in his fifties, had been mustering cattle, when one of the bulls knocked him off his quad bike.
The rescue chopper was sent to a private property, north of Roma, on Saturday afternoon (5th February), shortly before 2:30pm.
The aeromedical team worked with local Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics to treat the patient, for head injuries.
He was flown to Roma Airport and was then transported to Roma Hospital by QAS.
The LifeFlight SGAS helicopter performed the mission, as part of the SGAS partners’ commitment to assisting in providing the south west region and beyond, with community aeromedical coverage, by donating 150 flying hours each year.
