A father and his young daughter, both injured in a motorbike accident, were flown in separate helicopters from Murgon Hospital on Thursday evening.
Two RACQ CareFlight Rescue helicopters were tasked to transport the pair at 8:00pm.
The 44-year-old father and his four-year-old daughter suffered suspected head injuries when they were thrown from a motorbike while riding on their rural property.
The Brisbane-based RACQ CareFlight Rescue helicopter was diverted from an airlift from Kingaroy Hospital to transport the man to Princess Alexandra Hospital.
The Sunshine Coast CareFlight helicopter flew the small child to Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital, accompanied by her mother.
Both patients were transferred in a stable condition.

Kingaroy ambulance officers were called to an unusual incident on Friday evening.
