Saturday, March 4, 12.30pm: More details have emerged after a woman was injured while hiking in the Sunshine Coast hinterland yesterday.
The Sunshine Coast LifeFlight helicopter crew winched the woman, who is aged in her 50s, out of bushland after she tripped, injuring her leg and ankle, while walking with friends.
The rescue helicopter was called into action shortly before 4pm.
Queensland Ambulance Service paramedics and Queensland Fire and Emergency Service personnel walked to the patient’s location to assess her injuries.
Due to the terrain, it was decided it was safest to winch the QAS flight paramedic and LifeFlight rescue crew officer, along with a stretcher, down to the patient.

The woman was then flown to the RACQ LifeFlight Rescue Sunshine Coast base, in a stable condition, before being transferred to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital, via road ambulance.
The mission was performed in the Land Rover LifeFlight Special Mission helicopter. The aircraft is part of LifeFlight Australia’s commercial operation, which supports the work of the community helicopter fleet, through its profit-for-purpose model and is rotated through its community bases from time to time, when operationally required.
