A popular wedding dress designer was left fighting for her life after losing both her legs and an arm in a gruesome farm incident.

A woman is in a critical incident following an incident with a slasher at Ballandean.

A wedding fashion designer is in a stable but critical condition in the Princess Alexandra Hospital after losing three limbs in a catastrophic tractor slasher incident.

Claire McKenzie, 61, was slashing the grass on her 51-hectare Watters Rd property in the Southern Downs town of Ballandean on Thursday just before 12pm when she came off her tractor and went underneath the machinery.

Claire McKenzie, 61, suffered catastrophic injuries and lost both her legs and an arm in a horror tractor incident at her Ballandean farm on the Southern Downs.

Ms McKenzie lost both of her legs and one arm in the gruesome incident, and despite suffering horrendous injuries and losing blood she was able to call emergency services.

A rescue helicopter arrived from nearby Stanthorpe to transport Ms McKenzie to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane.

On her fashion business page, the former Victorian wedding dress designer described herself as a lover of style with more than 30 years of experience.

On Friday, a Princess Alexandra Hospital spokeswoman confirmed Ms McKenzie was in a critical but stable condition in the intensive care unit and is likely to remain so over the weekend.

Forensic Crash Unit detectives arrived at the Ballandean farm on Thursday to begin investigating.
