Child and women winched to safety in Qld
FIRST ON 7: Child and women winched to safety in Qld
A child and two women have been airlifted to safety after their ute was surrounded by rapidly rising floodwaters in central Queensland.
A camera on a rescuer's helmet has captured the heart-stopping, and dangerous, operation.
A helicopter rescuer attempted to winch the three stranded on the tray of the ute to safety.
However, the 14-month-old boy was too small for the harness.
Instead the rescuer carries him to the helicopter in a waterproof equipment bag.
