It's believed the motorbike rider, aged in his 20s, attempted a jump before losing control and colliding with a tree.

Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics and Queensland Fire and Emergency (QFES) officers were on the scene when the RACQ LifeFlight Rescue aeromedical team arrived.

The patient was treated for several upper body injuries before being flown to Toowoomba's Clive Berghofer LifeFlight Centre, in a serious but stable condition.

A QAS road crew transported the patient from the aeromedical hangar, to Toowoomba Hospital.
