A man was airlifted to hospital by the Land Rover LifeFlight Special Mission helicopter, after a dirt bike crash in the Gympie region.
The crash occurred on Sunday afternoon (May 30), when the male rider, aged in his thirties, was riding along a road in a state forest, when he hit a tree stump.
Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics responded to the call at 1:58pm on Bradys Rd in Curra.
They initially treated him for upper leg injuries, at the scene.
Due to the location of the accident, the rescue helicopter landed a short distance from the accident site.
The patient was then airlifted to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition.
This was the second motorbike accident the Land Rover LifeFlight Special Mission helicopter attended in the Gympie region this weekend.
