Three people were seriously injured in a car crash on the Sunshine Motorway at Peregian Springs on Tuesday morning, 15 March.
While at the scene of crash, Queensland Ambulance Service Operations Supervisor Paul Boyd said three people have been taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital for treatment.
“The elderly patients in one vehicle were trapped and another male patient was lying beside the car on the verge,” Mr Boyd said.
“The two elderly patients in the one vehicle sustained critical injuries. The gentleman that was beside his vehicle on the verge had serious injuries.”
Initial investigations indicate that the three vehicles collided on Emu Creek Road around 6:50am.
“We sent a supervisor, critical care paramedic and doctor, plus three ambulance crews,” Mr Boyd said.
Emu Creek Road was closed in both directions between Murdering Creek Road and Sunshine Coast Motorway with local diversions in place.
“The motorway is probably going to be shut for three hours,” Mr Boyd said.
The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating.
