A 58-year-old Toowoomba woman has been airlifted to hospital after a motorbike crash on the Burnett Highway on Tuesday morning.
An RACQ LifeFlight spokesperson said the woman was believed to be on a journey to Cairns when she veered off the highway and crashed.
The incident occurred about 10km south of Ban Ban Springs.
The Sunshine Coast-based LifeFlight helicopter landed on the highway near the crash.
The woman suffered shoulder and spinal injuries and was transported to Nambour Hospital in a stable condition.
She was later flown to Brisbane for further specialist treatment.
Footnote: This was the first medevac from the South Burnett under the new LifeFlight name instead of CareFlight.
