Emergency calls came in for the two-vehicle crash at the Gin Gin Rd and Lines Rd intersection at South Kolan at 2.44pm on Saturday.

The passenger of the Chrysler, a 75-year-old Bullyard woman, was taken to Bundaberg Base Hospital with life-threatening injuries.
A Queensland Fire Department spokeswoman said crews on scene used rescue equipment as paramedics treated a person in one of the vehicles.
This person was removed from the vehicle at 3.45pm.
A rescue chopper was also called to the scene.
However, a LifeFlight spokeswoman said an aeromedical team was diverted to the crash just after 3pm.
