A woman in her 40s has been winched off Table Top Mountain with serious injuries, after she fell more than 20 metres while hiking.
She reportedly tumbled down the cliff face, then landed and was trapped in a fork of a tree, on a difficult to access and extremely rocky section of the mountain.
The Toowoomba RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter rescue aircraft was tasked around 10.40am.
After the helicopter landed on the mountain, a LifeFlight doctor and Queensland Ambulance Service paramedic set out on foot, to locate the injured woman.
The helicopter crew then flew overhead and winched down the team’s medical equipment, so they could work treat her injuries.
The aeromedical team, along with firefighters, police and paramedic, worked to remove the woman from the tree.
She was then winched into the helicopter, along with the rescue crew.
The woman was flown to Toowoomba Hospital, in a serious but stable condition.
