A man has been flown to hospital after being thrown from his car in a single-vehicle crash on a rural road south of Rockhampton.

Emergency crews were called to the incident on South Ulam Rd at Bajool about 11.54am after the vehicle left the road and collided with a tree.

The RACQ CapRescue helicopter was also tasked to the incident.

A spokeswoman for Queensland Ambulance Service said paramedics assessed one man, aged in his late 40s, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle, for a head injury.

The man was found lying on the roadside with “life threatening injuries” when emergency crews arrived.

A man has suffered a head injury after a wild crash at Bajool.

He was treated by QAS paramedics until the RACQ CapRescue crew arrived with a onboard doctor and critical care paramedic.

The man was then flown in a stable condition to Rockhampton Hospital where he will undergo further treatment for his injuries.

The crash comes after what has been a horror day on Queensland’s roads.

Emergency crews were called to a single-vehicle rollover on the Burnett Highway at Booubyjan, west of Gympie, where one person was in a critical condition and another seriously injured.

Meanwhile in Gladstone, a woman suffered chest injuries after crashing into a parked car in the early hours of the morning.
