A Queensland Ambulance Service spokeswoman said paramedics treated one man in a “life-threatening condition” with “significant traumatic injuries”.

The crash marks the Sunshine Coast’s third serious motorbike accident in just over a month, after two men were killed in separate incidents in April.

Allan Scheuber died on April 10 after a serious crash at the intersection of Hunsley and Obi Obi roads, Kidaman Creek.

Four days later, Craig Yates died after a crash on the corner of Ben Lexcen Dr and Eenie Creek Rd, Sunshine Beach.

More to come.
