A two-year-old boy remains in an induced coma after being hit by a ute outside his family’s home at Boonah, southwest of Brisbane yesterday.
“Preliminary investigations suggest a ute was travelling along Church Street when a two-year-old boy was struck after walking onto the roadway around 4.05pm,” Queensland Police said in a statement today.
“The boy was airlifted to Queensland Children’s Hospital in a critical condition. The male diver of the ute aged in his 70s was physically uninjured.”
The Forensic Crash Unit and Child Protection Investigation Unit are investigating the circumstances of the collision.
