AN English tourist’s leg was degloved in a horror yacht accident off the world-famous Whitehaven Beach.
RACQ CQ Rescue flew the tourist to Mackay Hospital late yesterday.
The 53-year-old woman, from Birmingham, England, was holidaying aboard a 24-metre tourist vessel in the Whitsundays when the accident happened and her leg is believed to have gotten caught in a rope.
An RACQ CQ Rescue crew spokesman said the woman was dragged along the deck of the boat, smashing into handrails and equipment, and suffered a serious degloving injury to her lower leg about 4.30pm.
She is in a stable condition.
