The driver of the vehicle and multiple bystanders stopped to render immediate first aid to the teenagers ahead of the emergency response, however both sustained serious injuries.

The boy was flown from the scene to the Queensland Children’s Hospital in Brisbane, while the girl was transported by road to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

The driver of the vehicle, a 34-year-old Mooloolaba woman was not physically injured.
