Two people are fighting for life after a serious crash in heavy rain on the Gold Coast . A woman and a man were driving in separate cars along Rifle Range Rd in Pimpama when they crashed about 7.27am on Thursday. Queensland Fire Department crews arrived only minutes later and found the woman, believed to be in her 20s, trapped inside one of the cars. Firefighters used cutting gear to free the woman before paramedics were able to treat her for life-threatening injuries, a QFES spokesperson said.
They were both rushed to Gold Coast University Hospital in critical conditions. Police said Riffle Range Rd is closed in both directions between Bull Rd and Coomera Springs Rd and are urged motorists to avoid the area and seek alternative routes. The Bureau of Meteorology issued a severe thunderstorm warning for heavy rainfall in the area about 6.23am on Thursday.
