Seven people were injured in a head-on crash on the Sunshine Motorway at 8am on Wednesday, including four adults and three children.

Coolum Station Officer in Charge Elissa Edie, who was first on the scene, said they used four ambulances to transport the seven people.

“One of the children had a probable broken arm. Another child had some lacerations to the face and a possible head injury,” Ms Edie said.

“It was mostly skeletal injuries. There was a few lacerations, some neck pain, some back pain.”

A child was transported in a serious but stable condition to Sunshine Coast University Hospital with a head injury, while an adult and two other children were taken in stable conditions.

Three adults were taken to Nambour Hospital stable with minor injuries.

Ms Edie said the Motorway was closed between the Coolum and Peregian roundabouts while the incident was happening.

“Police are conducting their investigation,” she said.
