Qld: Four hospitalised after three-car crash
BRISBANE, Feb 13 AAP - Four people have been injured in a multi-vehicle crash police
believe was caused by the driver of one car swerving to avoid dogs on a road at Yugar,
north of Brisbane.
Among the injured was a seven-year-old boy who had to be airlifted to the Royal Children's
Hospital in Brisbane with internal injuries while his four-year-old brother was taken
to the same hospital by ambulance.
Their 42-year-old father, whom police believe swerved to avoid hitting dogs on the
road, was taken to the Royal Brisbane Hospital with a broken leg.
Police said the father and his two sons, from Cedar Creek, had been travelling along
Mount Samson Road at Yugar about 7.10am (AEST) this morning when their car hit an oncoming
vehicle, which was then pushed into the path of a third vehicle.
The car in which the young boys were travelling rolled several times, while the second
ran down an embankment.
The two boys were in a stable condition later today.
The driver of the second vehicle, a 20-year-old Caboolture man, was also taken to hospital
with cuts and bruises, while the driver of the third vehicle, a 34-year-old Dayboro woman,
was treated for shock at the scene.
