A 14-year-old girl is missing after the car she was travelling in was swept away, while far north Queensland prepares for category one storm
It comes as a 22-year-old Sunshine Coast man was confirmed to be the first fatality from the storms after his ute became submerged in flood waters at Kanigan, north of Brisbane, on Friday evening. No one else was in the car at the time.
A 40-year-old man was rescued after a car was swept away in the early hours of Saturday morning at Booubyjan, near Gympie in Queensland’s south-east. He said there had been a “high intensity” operational response from Bundaberg to Kilcoy over the weekend, with 16 tasks that required air support and 11 people transported by air. All were in a stable condition but there remained “grave fears” for the teenage girl.
