Witness cut kids free after fatal crash

The two adults travelling with the four children in the car, a 33-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man, suffered leg injuries and were taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital in stable conditions.

Mark Green, who is also a hobby diver, was riding his motorcycle with his wife from Boonah when he saw a broken roadside barrier and the flooded car in Wyaralong Dam.

“I pulled my bike over and heard someone scream,” he said.

“The father of the children was screaming in the water that his kids were in the car. I think the dad had a broken leg but he was trying to get the door but it was jammed.

“I ran down, took my jacket and boots off and jumped in.”
