Overview
- A Subaru Impreza and a Nissan Qashqai collided at the Gould Hill Road intersection with the Mount Lindesay Highway, about 2:14pm on Monday, and four people were taken to hospital.
- The six-year-old boy who was airlifted to the Queensland Children’s Hospital with life‑threatening injuries died in hospital on Friday.
- Queensland Police said the Nissan driver, a 56‑year‑old woman, and a 13‑year‑old passenger sustained non‑life‑threatening injuries and the Subaru driver was uninjured, though some outlets reported other adults were initially critical before stabilising.
- The Forensic Crash Unit is leading the investigation and has appealed for witnesses, CCTV and dashcam footage to assist a scene reconstruction that could take several days.
- The crash took place on a regional corridor south of Brisbane and the airlift to the specialist children’s hospital underlines the severity of the boy’s injuries while police continue to gather evidence and statements.
