Details have emerged after a woman lost both her legs and one of her arms in a farm accident.
Wedding dressmaker Claire McKenzie, 61, was riding a tractor with a slasher attached when she was thrown from the vehicle.
The slasher then ran her over, causing the life-threatening injuries.
Thewoman, who was alone at the property in Ballandean, in Queensland’s Southern Downs, was able to call the emergency services despite her horrendous injuries.
“She received significant multiple trauma to her limbs but was conscious and able to talk to paramedics, who were able to stabilise the lady,” Queensland Ambulance Service spokesman Stephen Johns said.
