The father of an 18-month-old girl has expressed his relief at his daughter and her mother escaping serious injury after their car rolled down an embankment at Eumundi on Friday afternoon.

Emergency services were called to the scene off Eumundi Range Road at 2.45pm on Friday afternoon to reports a blue Suzuki Swift had gone down an embankment, trapping a 43-year-old Tinbeerwah woman and her daughter inside.

It was reported witnesses had rescued 18-month-old Isla from the wreckage before emergency services arrived, while the girl’s mother was trapped inside the vehicle and needed to be cut free by fire fighters.

The two were only 10 minutes from their home when the crash occurred and the car fell 20 metres down the embankment, it was reported.

A Queensland Ambulance spokesman said the woman suffered a back injury, but both she and her daughter were taken to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital in stable conditions.

The woman’s husband and girl’s father, Luke Graham, told 7NEWS he was relieved his wife and daughter were not more seriously injured.

“I could have lost my daughter, my wife,” he said.

“They could have been there all night and I would never know.

“There’s no guard rail, no nothing. Straight down, that’s it.”

The Queensland Police spokeswoman said investigations into the incident were ongoing.

It comes as another investigation into a separate incident at Bli Bli is launched, after a 15-year-old Sunshine Coast girl was struck by a car on David Low Way on Friday afternoon.

The Queensland Police spokeswoman said police were called to the scene around 3pm to reports the teenager was injured after being struck by a car driven by a 73-year-old Sunshine Coast woman.

The spokeswoman could not confirm the nature of the teenager’s injuries, but said she was not taken to hospital.

A Queensland Ambulance spokesman said they had no record of the incident.

The Queensland Police spokeswoman said Nambour police have launched an investigation, which is ongoing.
