Two teenagers are fighting for life and three others have been hospitalised after a car crashed into a tree in Brisbane’s north late on Sunday night.
Queensland Police said just after 11pm, a Ford Focus “failed to negotiate” a turn in Brendale, subsequently leaving the road and crashing.
The 18-year-old male driver and a 16-year-old female passenger were taken to hospital where they remain in a critical condition.
Three other girls, all aged 16, were also transported to hospital with “non-life-threatening” injuries.
The crash rounded off a horror weekend on Queensland roads which claimed the lives of four people.
It began on Friday afternoon when a 49-year-old man was struck by a car in Cairns.
He died on Sunday as a result of his injuries.
At 10.30pm on Saturday, a man was driving along a north Brisbane road when his car left the road and crashed into a tree, killing the 37-year-old.
Two men died and another man was injured on a regional Queensland road shortly before 4.30am on Sunday, after the car overturned.
The trio were travelling along the Bunya Highway in Taabinga when the car left the road, killing the two men, aged 34 and 39.
Hours earlier, an 18-year-old girl was left with “critical life-threatening-injuries” after she collided head on with another car in Crestmead, south of Brisbane.
The other driver, a 21-year-old man, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Queensland Police are investigating all the crashes, and urge anyone with any information or dashcam footage to contact Policelink.
Already, 18 people have died on Queensland roads this year.
