A Queensland Ambulance Service spokeswoman said paramedics were assessing a woman in a “life-threatening condition” with head and abdominal injuries.

She was flown to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital.

This morning, May 23, a hospital spokeswoman said the woman was critical but stable.

On the day of the crash, police said traffic diversions were in place around the scene via Eumundi-Noosa Rd and Bunya Rd.

It’s the second serious crash on the Sunshine Coast in less than 12 hours, after a 21-year-old man died in a motorbike crash in Witta about 11.30am Wednesday.

More to come.
