Motorcyclists, caravaners, teen seriously injured after series of crashes

Three people have been taken to hospital in a serious condition after a motorhome and a car towing a caravan collided at Toowoomba.

A two-vehicle crash in Toowoomba that involved a caravan and a motorhome has left four people in hospital in serious conditions.

Initial investigations by the Forensic Crash Unit have revealed that at 5.15pm, a Subaru Liberty towing a caravan travelling north-west on Old Wyreema Rd collided with a Mercedes motorhome travelling in the opposite direction, just before the intersections with Toowoomba-Athel.

Initial reports suggest that the Subaru rolled during the incident.

The driver of the Subaru, 21-year-old Wavell Heights man, sustained serious injuries in the crash, while his passenger, a 20-year-old Wyreema man, suffered minor injuries.

The elderly occupants of the Mercedes - a 71-year-old man and his passenger, an 86-year-old woman - also sustained serious injuries.

Both are from Taringa in Brisbane.

A Queensland Ambulance spokesperson said that all four involved were taken to Toowoomba Base Hospital in serious conditions, while the Forensic Crash Unit have launched an investigation.

Officers are appealing for witnesses, especially those with footage of the crash or the moments leading up to it to come forward.
