A shocking crash has left two teens in a critical condition and two others badly injured just 11 days before Christmas[2].
The horrific smash occurred when a 2001 BMW 5301 and a 2005 Ford Falcon were travelling on Swanbank Coal Road and collided around 5.30pm Thursday at Swanbank, near Ipswich Queensland[3].
According to police the Ford was T-boned on the otherwise straight road.
Two teens were in the Ford, including a 17-year-old female driver who suffered serious head injuries and was taken in a critical condition to Princess Alexandria Hospital.
The female driver's passenger, an 18-year-old-man, was taken in a critical condition to the same hospital with 'multiple traumatic injuries'.
