Girl fighting for life after car crashes into e-scooter

A 12-year-old girl is fighting for her life after a car pulled out of a driveway in Maroochydore and collided with her while riding an e-scooter.

Just before 8am on Wednesday 21 August, Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics and police were called to the serious crash on Main Road, near the Hilltop Crescent intersection, in Maroochydore.

Initial investigations by the Sunshine Coast Forensic Crash Unit show the girl was riding an e-scooter on the footpath when the Kia 4 pulled out of a driveway onto Main Road and collided with the girl.

The 12-year-old Alexandra Headland girl was taken to hospital in a critical condition.

The driver of the car, a 21-year-old Maroochydore woman, is assisting police with enquiries.

Anyone with information, including dashcam footage, is urged to contact police.

Investigations are ongoing.
