A man has been winched to safety after falling 20 metres from a cliff into the ocean
A Sunshine Coast-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew was called to the Noosa region at 11.55am on Saturday, after the man in his 40s had fallen.
LifeFlight stated that a multi-agency response included the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS), Queensland Fire Department (QFD), Queensland Police Service (QPS) and Surf Life Saving Queensland (SLSQ).
The LifeFlight crew was able to safely winch the Lifeflight critical care doctor, QAS flight paramedic and LifeFlight rescue crewman down to the patient.
The aeromedical crew and local paramedics worked to treat the patient for shoulder, neck and possible spinal injuries.
Once stabilised, he was stretcher-winched into the aircraft, before being flown to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition.
