The QFD spokeswoman said crews assessed the building, however there was no structural damage and the scene was left with tow-truck operators to remove the car.

Paramedics treated a female patient at the scene. A Queensland Ambulance Service spokesman said she was taken to Gold Coast University Hospital in a stable condition.
