Climbers stuck on cliff overnight, woman hit by car has “life-threatening injuries”

Rescuers have winched a group of climbers from the side of a mountain after being unable to reach them overnight, while a woman was fighting for her life after being hit by a car.

Rescuers have winched out four climbers forced to spend the night on the side of a cliff after rescuers were unable to reach them at Tamborine Mountain overnight.

A Queensland Ambulance Spokeswoman said a woman in her early 50s had a minor head injury after the group were climbing on a private property near Guanaba Gorge at 5.30pm Saturday.

The woman, a man in his late 40s and another woman and man were winched from the cliff in what emergency services described as “a complicated rescue” on Sunday morning.

The woman was taken to hospital by ambulance while the remaining climbers were uninjured.

Police and ambulance teams and crews from Queensland Fire and Emergency Services and the Tamborine Mountain Rural Fire Service joined the effort.
