A FEMALE trail bike rider who crashed at Agnes Water has told how she could see those looking for her, but was too injured to signal for help.

The 31-year-old sparked a land-and-air search after she failed to return from a solo ride on Sunday afternoon.

She was found at 8am today - 15 hours after she was last seen - and transported by the AGL Action Rescue Helicopter to Bundaberg Hospital.

She was suffering hypothermia, a head injury and possible spinal injury.

The woman was discovered in a table drain on the corner of Streeter Drive and Anderson Way, not far from her home.

Police said she had been obscured from view by long grass. She was found by a local on foot, who had been helping with the search.

An ambulance took her to the local showgrounds where she was collected by the AGL chopper, which had been involved in the search the previous night.

She told crew members that she had seen the helicopter circling above her during the night.

The woman was flown to Bundaberg in a stable condition.
