Two teenagers have been flown to hospital after the e-scooter they were riding crashed into a car on Tuesday night.

Queensland Police said initial information indicated that a 13-year-old Mountain Creek boy was riding an e-scooter with a 13-year-old Buderim girl as a passenger, eastbound along George Street when a collision occurred with a silver Suzuki Vitara wagon travelling north along Mayfield Street, at Alexandra Headland.

The driver of the vehicle and multiple bystanders stopped to render immediate first aid to the teenagers ahead of the emergency response, however both sustained serious injuries.

The boy was flown from the scene to the Queensland Children’s Hospital in Brisbane, while the girl was transported by road to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

The driver of the vehicle, a 34-year-old Mooloolaba woman was not physically injured.

Witnesses, especially those with dashcam vision of the crash or the moments leading up to it, are asked to come forward.
