A 21-year-old motocross rider was flown to hospital with leg injuries after he lost control of his bike and crashed into a tree on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The RACQ LifeFlight helicopter was called to a motocross park near Cooyar about 1:00pm.<\/p>\n

The LifeFlight Critical Care doctor and a QAS Flight Paramedic worked alongside the local QAS crew to treat the male rider for lower limb injuries.<\/p>\n

Due to the terrain where the incident occured, rescuers had to carry the man out on a stretcher.<\/p>\n

He was then driven on a side-by-side UTV to the rescue helicopter.<\/p>\n

The man was airlifted to the Toowoomba Hospital in a stable condition.<\/p>\n
