He was transported in a stable condition to Hervey Bay Hospital for further treatment.

Three hours later the crew was tasked to a stretch of highway in Monduran after a car carrier rolled onto its side and crashed into trees.

QFD firefighters worked for two hours to cut away trees and extricate a male in his 20s from the vehicle.

He was treated on scene by QAS paramedics, the LifeFlight critical care doctor and QAS flight paramedic for head and facial injuries.

The patient was taken to Bundaberg Hospital in a stable condition for further treatment.
