In a harrowing incident on Friday afternoon, 6 December 2024, a car rollover on the Anzac Avenue off-ramp in North Lakes has left a male driver fighting for his life and three young children hospitalised.
The accident occurred around 4:00 PM, with emergency services responding quickly to the scene. According to Queensland Ambulance Service reports, the driver was initially trapped in the wreckage, adding a critical dimension to the already serious accident.
Paramedics worked diligently to extricate the driver, who was subsequently treated for what are described as potentially life-threatening injuries. He was then urgently transported to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, underscoring the severity of his condition.
The incident’s impact on the children involved was less severe. Three children, all under 10 years old, sustained minor injuries and were transported to Queensland Children’s Hospital. Ambulance sources confirmed the children were in a stable condition, providing a measure of relief amid the traumatic circumstances.
North Lakes residents are advised that the Anzac Avenue off-ramp was likely temporarily closed during the emergency response and subsequent investigation. Local authorities are expected to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the rollover.
