Two pedestrians in critical conditions after horrific weekend on Queensland roads continues
Two pedestrians are fighting for life after being struck by cars in separate incidents in Queensland's southeast. Emergency services were called to the Logan Motorway at Kingston following reports a man had been by a car before 1pm on Monday. Paramedics treated the man, aged in his 20s, for life-threatening head injuries. He was taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a critical condition. Traffic was diverted via the Kingston Rd off ramp while the man was tended to, Queensland Traffic said. Drivers were also warned to use alternative routes or expect lengthy delays. The horrific Kingston crash came just two hours after a woman, believed to be aged in her 50s, was struck by a car on Emma St in Deebing Heights, Ipswich, at 11.19am. She was taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a potentially life-threatening condition with head, chest and pelvic injuries. Police said no charges had been laid and investigations were continuing. The Monday tragedies continue a horror week on Queensland roads. Three teenagers killed in a horror-head on crash in Queensland were best mates who recently graduated from high school. On Friday night, best friends T-Jay Petrass, Liam Doumergue, and Ellie Cunnington, all 19, died when their Mazda 2 crashed into a Great Wall Cannon while they were trying to overtake a semi-trailer on Mackay Ring Rd at Glenella, a suburb of Mackay, about 10.40pm. All three teenagers were declared dead at the scene. The 28-year-old male driver of the Great Wall Cannon, was rushed to Mackay Base Hospital in a serious condition, while the 68-year-old male driver of the semi-trailer escaped injury. A fourth vehicle, an Isuzu D-Max, veered off the road to avoid the wreck and the driver was not hurt. And on Wednesday, a 14-year-old school boy was fatally struck by a car in Brisbane, 1km from Wynnum State School. The boy was crossing at the roundabout intersection of Tingal Rd and Colina St, Wynnum, when he was hit by a learner driver just after 8:20am. He was treated for critical injuries by paramedics, but died at the crash site. As of July 20, the total number of road fatalities in Queensland sits at 158 — six of those just on Saturday and Sunday. Stream free on

The mother-son duo have been favourites on Channel 4's Gogglebox since 2019, yet they had to miss the latest series due to Linda's health. Rylan has also previously opened up about his mother's battle with Crohn's disease. Linda has battled with Crohn's since her 30s, a condition that causes inflammation of the lining of the digestive system. She often has to undergo multiple operations to remove damaged parts of her bowel and takes numerous medicines each day for her condition. Crohn's disease is a chronic condition, which affects around one in 1,200 people in the UK, causing inflammation of the lining of the digestive system, although it is most commons in the intestines. It causes symptoms including diarrhoea, intense abdominal pain, weight loss and fatigue. Linda had to endure a six-week hospital stay due to her ongoing battle with Crohn's disease back in 2017. 'She's not in the best health with her other conditions and this has made it more complicated,' Rylan previously said. In October that year, Rylan revealed that Linda had become well enough to visit his house for the first time in two months amid her health struggles. Linda also contracted sepsis in 2018, which almost killed her. Rylan previously shared in 2023 his mother suffered a horror fall in Marbella and had to have emergency surgery before they both flew home on a private plane Rylan previously opened up to the Daily Mail about his mum's battle with the illnes s, which has affected many aspects of her life. He explained: 'My mum lost her job because of the disease - it totally dictates her life. When she was diagnosed it really hit her hard because it wasn't picked up early enough. 'The earlier you pick it up the easier it is to control. I grew up with the disease as well because she was ill - it is life-threatening. It's scary. 'It could be difficult when I was young because sometimes she couldn't come on school trips and other times she was so embarrassed about her symptoms that I couldn't have my mates to stay over.' CROHN'S DISEASE EXPLAINED Crohn's disease is a long-term condition that causes inflammation of the lining of the digestive system. Inflammation most commonly occurs in the last section of the small or large intestine but it can affect any part of the digestive system. Common symptoms can include: diarrhoea abdominal pain fatigue (extreme tiredness) unintended weight loss blood and mucus in your faeces (stools) Remission occurs when people with the disease go long periods of time without symptoms however these periods can be followed by flare ups of symptoms. Why it happens The exact cause of Crohn's disease is unknown. However, research suggests a combination of factors may be responsible. These include: genetics – genes you inherit from your parents may increase your risk of developing Crohn's disease the immune system – the inflammation may be caused by a problem with the immune system that causes it to attack healthy bacteria in the gut previous infection – a previous infection may trigger an abnormal response from the immune system smoking – smokers with Crohn's disease usually have more severe symptoms than non-smokers environmental factors – Crohn's disease is most common in westernised countries such as the UK, and least common in poorer parts of the world such as Africa, which suggests the environment has a part to play
