A man with potentially life-threatening injuries has been airlifted to hospital after a fall at the Glass House Mountains.
The Sunshine Coast-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew winched the injured man to safety after he fell 30 metres while rock climbing.
It’s believed the man in his 50s was climbing on Mount Beerwah when he slipped.
The LifeFlight rescue helicopter crew was tasked at 3pm and was met on scene by Queensland Fire Department officers and local Queensland Ambulance Service paramedics.
A QAS flight paramedic and LifeFlight rescue crewman were winched down to the patient where he was stabilised.
He was escort-winched on a stretcher into the helicopter, alongside the flight paramedic.
The man was flown to Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital with head and spinal injuries for further treatment.
Meanwhile, paramedics have taken a person with ankle injuries to Nambour Hospital, in a stable condition, following a motorcycle crash on Cambroon Lane at Kenilworth at 10.38am.
