A 47-year-old Ipswich woman has been flown to hospital with serious injuries after a motorbike crash on the Bunya Highway on Saturday morning.

Her pillion passenger, a 26-year-old woman from Brisbane, was taken by ambulance to Kingaroy Hospital with minor grazes and abrasions.

Three ambulances were called to the incident, which occurred near Morrisseys Road at Inverlaw about 10:00am.

Passing motorists controlled traffic as paramedics attended to the riders.

A road ambulance transferred the injured woman to an RACQ LifeFlight helicopter, which landed on nearby Magees Road, which then flew her to Princess Alexandra Hospital .

The Honda motorcycle was pulling a trailer.

Investigations into the cause of the crash are continuing.

“Police will have the motorcycle inspected and assessed by police mechanics to determine if there was any mechanical malfunction,” Officer-in-Charge of Kingaroy Police, Senior Sergeant Duane Frank, said.
