Heartbreaking tribute to young man killed in Glenwood fatal

It is believed the man, aged in his seventies, had been riding the vehicle on a rural property when the crash occurred.

Due to the hilly terrain the man was treated at the scene by QAS paramedics before being transported to the helicopter, which had landed nearby.

He was then stabilised before being flown to SCUH in a stable condition.
