Woman airlifted from head on truck crash

The Sunshine Coast RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter has airlifted a woman to hospital, after she was injured in a head on collision between two trucks, in the Bundaberg region today.

The rescue helicopter responded around 8.30am this morning, landing in a clearing, close to the dirt road where the incident occurred.

Emergency services, including Queensland Fire and Emergency Service (QFES) and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) officers were already on scene, assessing and treating three people, when the aeromedical crew arrived.

A passenger from one of the trucks, a woman aged in her sixties, was in a serious but stable condition when she was flown to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital, under the care of the RACQ LifeFlight Rescue Critical Care Doctor and QAS Flight Paramedic.
