A woman has been killed and four others seriously injured after a horrifying two-car crash involving a baby at Bundaberg overnight.

At least two people have suffered critical injuries in a shocking two-car crash at Bundaberg which has forced police to shut the road and divert traffic.

A woman has been killed and four others left with serious injuries after a horror two-car crash in Bundaberg on Friday night.

Initial investigations show that around 8.20pm, a 2021 Mazda CX-8 and a 1994 Nissan Pathfinder crashed on Fe Walker Street, west of Ashfield Road at Kalkie.

A 57-year-old Bargara woman who was a passenger in the Mazda, sustained critical injuries and died at the scene.

The other occupants of the Mazda, all from Bargara who were known to each other, were taken to Bundaberg Hospital with serious injuries along with a baby who was not injured.

This included a 63-year-old man suffering chest injuries, a 30-year-old man with potentially life-threatening abdominal injuries and a 28-year-old woman with lower limb injuries who was stable.

The driver of the Nissan, a 46-year-old Norville man, also suffered multiple, potentially life-threatening injuries and was taken to hospital.

The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating, and police are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed anything or may have relevant CCTV or dashcam footage to come forward.

No charges have been laid at this stage.
