A man in his 70s drove himself to get help after he was trampled by cattle on a rural South Burnett property, before he was flown to hospital in a serious condition.

A man has been rushed to hospital in a serious condition after being trampled by cattle.

Paramedics were called to a private property in Murgon at 1.38pm after a man was injured in an “incident involving cattle”.

A QAS spokeswoman confirmed a male patient was treated for multiple head, face and “significant” chest injuries before being transported to Murgon Hospital in a serious condition.

The patient was then flown to the Princess Alexandra Hospital, in a serious but stable condition, under the care of the RACQ LifeFlight Rescue Critical Care doctor.

It’s believed the patient, aged in his 70s, was tagging cattle when an animal knocked him to the ground and reportedly stomped on him repeatedly for several minutes.

The man then managed to exit the cattle yard and drive himself to a nearby farmhouse, where his wife called emergency services.
