Two pedestrians are fighting for life after being struck by cars in separate incidents in Queensland's southeast.
Emergency services were called to the Logan Motorway at Kingston following reports a man had been by a car before 1pm on Monday.
Paramedics treated the man, aged in his 20s, for life-threatening head injuries.
He was taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a critical condition.
Traffic was diverted via the Kingston Rd off ramp while the man was tended to, Queensland Traffic said.
Drivers were also warned to use alternative routes or expect lengthy delays.
The horrific Kingston crash came just two hours after a woman, believed to be aged in her 50s, was struck by a car on Emma St in Deebing Heights, Ipswich, at 11.19am.
She was taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a potentially life-threatening condition with head, chest and pelvic injuries.
Police said no charges had been laid and investigations were continuing.
The Monday tragedies continue a horror week on Queensland roads.
Three teenagers killed in a horror-head on crash in Queensland were best mates who recently graduated from high school.
On Friday night, best friends T-Jay Petrass, Liam Doumergue, and Ellie Cunnington, all 19, died when their Mazda 2 crashed into a Great Wall Cannon while they were trying to overtake a semi-trailer on Mackay Ring Rd at Glenella, a suburb of Mackay, about 10.40pm.
All three teenagers were declared dead at the scene.
The 28-year-old male driver of the Great Wall Cannon, was rushed to Mackay Base Hospital in a serious condition, while the 68-year-old male driver of the semi-trailer escaped injury.
A fourth vehicle, an Isuzu D-Max, veered off the road to avoid the wreck and the driver was not hurt.
And on Wednesday, a 14-year-old school boy was fatally struck by a car in Brisbane, 1km from Wynnum State School.
The boy was crossing at the roundabout intersection of Tingal Rd and Colina St, Wynnum, when he was hit by a learner driver just after 8:20am.
He was treated for critical injuries by paramedics, but died at the crash site.
As of July 20, the total number of road fatalities in Queensland sits at 158 — six of those just on Saturday and Sunday.
