The Toowoomba-based LifeFlight Surat Gas Aeromedical Service (SGAS) helicopter has airlifted a man to hospital, after he was injured when it’s believed a truck and vehicle collided on the Warrego Highway last night (Sat 12).
The patient, aged in his thirties, suffered head and chest injuries.
Local Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics, Rural Firefighters and Queensland Police Service (QPS) personnel treated and assisted the man, before the LifeFlight SGAS rescue chopper arrived.
The rescue helicopter was tasked just after 8pm to the Western Downs incident and landed close to the scene.
QAS transported the patient to the aircraft and he was airlifted to Toowoomba Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
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.
