The AGL Action Rescue helicopter has flown to the aid of a 16 year old boy after a small land slip caused him to fall into a disused quarry filled with water.
The Deception Bay teenager was walking with friends around the quarry rim when the ground gave way underneath him. He slid down the quarry wall about 10 metres stopping just above the water line.
The boy was carried by stretcher out of the quarry to the AGL Action Rescue Helicopter which was able to land nearby.
The helicopter's flight doctor and flight paramedic treated the boy for chest injuries.
He was airlifted to the Royal Brisbane Hospital in a stable condition.
