A maintenance worker reportedly suffered life-threatening injuries after he was struck by a parked car which had been hit by a car towing a caravan at Mooloolaba on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.
A Queensland Police Service spokeswoman said a dual cab vehicle towing a caravan was driving north on busy Brisbane Road at the start of the long weekend when it struck a parked car, which propelled the vehicle into a male maintenance worker.
The man in his 20s, suffered life-threatening injuries and was rushed to Sunshine Coast University Hospital. A Sunshine Coast Health spokeswoman said he was later moved to a different facility.
The Sunshine Coast News reports that two other pedestrians, both men, were also taken to hospital in stable conditions.

Multiple emergency crews attend the scene.
A Workplace Health and Safety Queensland spokeswoman told the Courier Mail they were notified of the incident at Mooloolaba and were making enquiries.
