In a serious traffic incident on July 25, 2025, a collision involving three vehicles disrupted the Pacific Highway in Bilinga, Queensland. The crash occurred at approximately 11:40 p.m. when a black Mitsubishi Lancer collided with the rear of a black Hyundai i20, causing both cars to lose control and strike the side rail.

The accident blocked both southbound lanes, although the silver Holden Commodore, also traveling southbound, emerged unscathed. Emergency services rushed to the scene, transporting a 25-year-old woman from Currumbin Waters, who was a passenger in the Hyundai, to Gold Coast University Hospital. She remains in a serious but stable condition. The driver of the Mitsubishi, an 18-year-old man from New South Wales, sustained minor injuries and was also hospitalized.

The driver of the Hyundai, another 25-year-old from Currumbin Waters, and the 20-year-old driver of the Holden from Merrimac, both escaped physical harm. The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating the incident, and police are urging any witnesses or individuals with dashcam footage to come forward.

Authorities have provided reference number QP2501307780 for those with information. They encourage contacting Policelink or Crime Stoppers to assist with the ongoing investigation.
