Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics and Queensland Fire and Emergency Service (QFES) personnel were also in attendance.

The RACQ LifeFlight Rescue crew airlifted a man, aged in his 20s, to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, with multiple injuries.

He travelled in a critical condition.
