LifeFlight crew joins search for man feared missing in floodwaters

Toowoomba’s RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter crew has joined the multi-agency search for a man feared missing in floodwaters, near Stanthorpe.

It’s believed the man, who is aged in his 20s, was last seen leaving his Ballandean home in his car, on Friday morning.

He was reported missing after he failed to make contact with family or friends.

There are concerns for his safety, as there has been extensive flooding in the region.

His vehicle has since been located on a road, and it is feared he may have tried to cross through floodwaters on foot, to return to his property.

The RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter crew joined the search for the man around 9 o’clock this morning, after being tasked by Queensland Police Service (QPS).

The chopper scoured the area for several hours, but there was no sign of the missing person.

The search by emergency services, is continuing.
