Multiple injuries after woman ‘reversed over’

By Jeremy Sollars

An Emu Vale woman was flown to Toowoomba Hospital this morning after being accidentally run over on a property on Washbourne Road.
Emergency crews were called to the location east of Warwick just after 7.30am today, Monday 1 May, following the incident.
It is understood the woman, aged in her late sixties, was reversed into by her husband who was about to leave the property in a utility.
The Toowoomba-based RACQ LifeFlight helicopter landed at the property about 8.30am to fly the injured woman out.
An RACQ LifeFlight spokesman said the woman sustained “multiple suspected injuries to her upper body” after her husband accidentally reversed over her as he was backing the utility vehicle out of the shed.
“The woman was attended to by Queensland Ambulance Service Paramedics and LifeFlight’s Critical Care Doctor before being airlifted to Toowoomba Hospital in a stable condition for further medical treatment,” the spokesman said.
