A 33-year-old Coolum Beach man suffered a severe head injury and suspected fractures and was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a serious condition.

He was later transferred to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in a critical condition.

Coolum Beach resident Peter Cooper, 73, lives near the intersection and said what first drew his attention to the crash was the flashing lights from the emergency services vehicles.

“I looked out across to the right side of the lights and I saw somebody lying on the road,” he said.

Peter Cooper of Coolum Beach has described the aftermath of the crash on Yandina Coolum Rd that left a motorcyclist with a severe head injury.

He said police blocked off the road and more police vehicles arrived following the crash.

The resident said the traffic did not bother him but sometimes it was difficult to turn into his driveway from Yandina Coolum Rd.

“Getting back in can be a bit dicey when you’ve got all the traffic behind you,” Mr Cooper said.

The driver of the car, a 17-year-old Yaroomba girl, was not injured in the crash.

The Forensic Crash unit is investigating.
