A female motorcycle rider has been flown to hospital with back and neck injuries after falling from the bike twice on a property in northwest Queensland.
The Mount Isa RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter crew responded after a woman, aged in her 30s, fell off a bike twice at a private property in the Cloncurry region on Tuesday.
It is understood the woman, who was wearing a helmet, attempted to get back on the motorcycle before reportedly falling a second time, causing back and neck injuries.
The rescue chopper was called into action just before 11.30am and landed near the scene, where a Queensland Ambulance Service flight paramedic met with local paramedics to treat the patient.
She was flown to Mount Isa Hospital in a stable condition.
