A teenager has been involved in a serious e-scooter crash on the Sunshine Coast.

The Queensland Ambulance Service said the girl, in her mid-teens, was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a potentially life-threatening condition after falling at Alexandra Headland on Wednesday evening.

She was transferred to Royal Brisbane Hospital and was on Thursday in a critical but stable condition.

It’s believed no other people were involved in the crash.
