Two fighting for life after horror crash
Three people have been seriously injured, two critically, following a devastating head-on crash on a highway south of Gympie.
Emergency crews rushed to the scene on the Mary Valley Hwy at Gildora, near the intersection with Ashton Rd, just after 11.45am on Friday.
Police believe two vehicles, including a blue Ford ute, collided head-on along the 100km/h stretch, leaving one person trapped in the wreckage.
A Queensland Ambulance Service spokeswoman said a man in his 60s was taken to Gympie Hospital with potentially life-threatening chest injuries.
A man in his 20s was flown to a southeast Queensland hospital with serious chest injuries, while a third patient, whose age and gender have not yet been confirmed, remained in a critical condition at the scene on Friday afternoon.
The Mary Valley Hwy has been closed at Lawson Rd, several kilometres from the crash site, with diversions now in place.
More to come.
