The Sunshine Coast-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter crew has airlifted two men who were injured in separate incidents at the same South Burnett motor sports park this afternoon.
The rescue chopper pilot flew the aeromedical team to the scene shortly after 1pm (Sunday March 31).
The RACQ LifeFlight Critical Care Doctor and a Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) Flight Paramedic worked alongside local QAS paramedics to treat a man, aged in his 20’s, who suffered head and back injuries after falling from his motorbike.
A man, aged in his 30’s, was also treated by the aeromedical team after he suffered injuries to his arm in a buggy rollover.
The patients were airlifted together to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. Both were in a stable condition.
Today’s mission follows back-to-back taskings to the same recreational park yesterday. (Sat 30th March)

He was airlifted to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition.
In an earlier mission in the morning, the aeromedical crew treated a primary school-aged boy who had fallen from his bike while riding with family and friends.
He suffered a suspected concussion and was airlifted to Queensland Children’s Hospital in a stable condition.
