A teenager has been flown to a Brisbane hospital in a serious condition with abdominal injuries after he came off a motorbike.
A Queensland Ambulance Service spokeswoman said the crash happened at the Manar Off Road Park recreation area in Boondooma, west of Proston in the South Burnett.
Paramedics were called to the crash about 9.10am and treated a teenage boy with serious abdominal injuries.
He was flown to the Queensland Children’s Hospital in a serious condition.
