Emergency services have descended upon the rural community of Abergowrie following reports of a serious incident involving a child. Multiple response units rushed to the scene after emergency calls were received earlier today.
Queensland Police confirmed they are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident, though specific details about the child's condition remain unclear at this stage. Ambulance crews and other emergency personnel are providing critical medical attention at the location.
The remote nature of the Abergowrie area, approximately 90 kilometres northwest of Townsville, has presented unique challenges for emergency responders. Local residents reported seeing multiple emergency vehicles with lights and sirens active heading toward the area.
Community members have been advised to avoid the immediate area to allow emergency services to work unimpeded. Police have established a perimeter around the incident location while their investigation continues.
Authorities have not yet released information about the type of incident or the age of the child involved. The Queensland Ambulance Service has multiple paramedic teams on scene providing advanced medical care.
This developing situation has shaken the tight-knit rural community, with neighbours expressing concern and offering support to the affected family. More details are expected to be released as the situation evolves and authorities complete their initial assessment.
