Three patients were treated.

A male in his late teens was airlifted to Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in a stable condition, with spinal and hip injuries.

A female with hip pain and a male with a hand injury, both in their 20s, were airlifted in a stable condition to Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

One of the helicopters tasked was a Sunshine Coast RACQ LifeFlight rescue helicopter.

The emergency mission was one of three it attended on Anzac Day.

The team had just finished refueling the aircraft at the Marcoola base, when they were tasked to a trail bike crash in bushland, north east of Toowoomba.

A woman, aged in her thirties, had reportedly been riding with a group of friends, when she lost control of her bike on a dirt track.

The patient, a woman in her 30s, was airlifted to Toowoomba Hospital for treatment for suspected hip and leg fractures.

The rescue helicopter was then called to the Gympie region, where a woman had suffered suspected spinal injuries, after a wake boarding incident at a dam.

The woman was airlifted to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a stable condition.

Meanwhile, paramedics also transported a patient to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition after a vehicle hit a guard rail on Landsborough-Maleny Road at Bald Knob on Saturday night.
