Marine incident, Bribie Island


Police are investigating a boat crash on waters near Bribie Island this afternoon that resulted in a girl in her early 20’s being hospitalised.


Initial information suggests between 5 and 5.30pm, the girl was one of four people travelling in a boat near Sylvan Beach when it has collided with a pylon.

The girl sustained non-serious injuries as a result of the crash and has since been transported to hospital.

None of the boat’s other occupants required further medical treatment, including the 53-year-old male driver.

The vessel has been seized by police as part of the investigations. Initial inquiries suggest alcohol was not a factor.

Anyone with information which could assist police with their investigations should contact Crime Stoppers anonymously via 1800 333 000 or crimestoppers.com.au 24hrs a day.

Crime Stoppers is a charitable community volunteer organisation working in partnership with the Queensland Police Service.
