Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien was rushed to hospital on Saturday after being injured in motorbike crash at Lakeside Raceway.
Mr O’Brien’s scheduled media events for Gympie on Monday were postponed following the accident which left him with a fractured skull and vertebra.
While being assessed and treated in a Brisbane hospital, Llew shared on Facebook that he would be wearing a neck brace for the next six weeks.
“Had a good day on the bikes with William and Michael at Lakeside Raceway yesterday,“ he wrote.
“Well, mine wasn’t a full day after I overdid a section of the track and went down. Bike’s fixable.“
Mr O’Brien said he had a “bit of bruising, strains and soft tissue injuries, a fractured skull and vertebra“.
“Other than that all good and should be out of hospital soon,“ he wrote.
