Police are appealing for information from the public as their investigations continue into a serious single vehicle traffic crash at Paget in Mackay on 4 September.

Around 10.35pm police and emergency services were called after a grey Ford Falcon sedan veered off Broadsound Road at the intersection of Farrellys Road and rolled onto its roof.

The 18-year-old male driver was able to remove himself from the vehicle and was transported to Mackay Base Hospital in a stable condition.

His 18-year-old female passenger was trapped in the vehicle and had to be extricated by emergency services. She was also transported to Mackay Base Hospital with serious life-threatening injuries to her lower body, and later transferred to Royal Brisbane Womens Hospital for further treatment.
