A young man has been flown to Bundaberg Hospital after he suffered a suspected broken ankle on Saturday after falling from a motorbike at the Manar Park motocross track at Boondooma.
The Bundaberg-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue crew was called to the scene about 11:00am to assist the man, aged in his 20s.
A LifeFlight spokesperson said the man had been riding his motorbike over a jump when he lost control and was thrown over the bike’s handlebars.
Ambulance paramedics treated the patient before the helicopter arrived.
LifeFlight Rescue crews experienced a very busy weekend, being called to five missions around Queensland in less than five hours on Saturday, and even more on Sunday.
Crews made three trips to assist injured trail-bike riders taking part in the Killarney Border Ranges Trail Ride on Saturday and Sunday.
One of the injured riders was a 10-year-old boy, while another was a teenager.
