Wednesday - Hiker winched to safety after Mt Tibrogargan rescue

A woman hiker has been winched to safety at the Glass House Mountains after she suffered a medical episode.

Remote rescue crews scaled the eastern face of Mt Tibrogargan around midday on Wednesday after two hikers requested assistance due to a woman in her 40s suffering a medical episode.

She was then unable to make her way down the track.

Footage of the rescue shows the woman being winched to safety from a precarious position off the mountain.

A Queensland Fire Department spokeswoman said four crews responded to the incident at Barrs Rd and found the pair about 1.15pm at the summit who were assessed by paramedics.

A Lifeflight spokeswoman said firefighters were training on the mountain at the same time the incident occurred and offered initial assistance to the hikers while waiting for the rescue helicopter to arrive.

The spokeswoman said a rescue helicopter winched one of the hikers from the top of the mountain.

A Queensland Ambulance Service spokesman said the woman who suffered the medical episode was flown to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition with no life threatening concerns.

It’s understood the second hiker was not injured and did not require treatment, with rescue crews leaving the mountain about 1.50pm.

A man has been arrested after several reports of a four-wheel drive smashing into multiple parked vehicles on a busy road in Coolum Beach were received by police.

“I have dashcam footage if needed, hope everyone is okay and there was not too much damage towards their cars,” the post stated.
