A family has been assessed by paramedics after their vehicle rolled on Fraser Island, with two young brothers flown to hospital with neck injuries.

Two young brothers have been flown off Fraser Island after they were injured in a single-vehicle rollover on Fraser Island (K’gari).

The LifeFlight Rescue chopper flew to the eastern side of the island at Dilli Village, south of Eurong, about 7.30am on Sunday and landed at a helipad.

The doctor and paramedic on board were met by members of the public, who drove them to the crash scene, where they worked with Queensland Ambulance Service paramedics to treat the two injured children.

It is believed a family of five, including two parents and three children, had been travelling along the waterline in a 4WD vehicle when it rolled, landing on its side.
