Emergency crews have responded to a string of serious incidents, including a fatal motorcycle crash, two burns cases and an e-scooter incident that left a man with significant head injuries.

A motorcyclist died after colliding with an SUV at Woody Point, Redcliffe on Saturday afternoon.

Police said preliminary inquiries indicated the motorcycle was heading south on Oxley Avenue when it collided with the SUV at the intersection of King Street about 5.04pm.

The rider, a 30-year-old Banya man, died at the scene.

The 45-year-old driver of the SUV was not physically injured.

Police said the Forensic Crash Unit was investigating the circumstances of the collision, including whether speed was a contributing factor.

Earlier on Saturday, paramedics were called to a private address at Beerwah following a backyard fire incident about 7.20pm.

A man in his 20s suffered burns to his legs, arms and face and was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition.

He was transported to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a potentially life-threatening condition.
