Toddler dies after concrete wall collapses on him

A two-year-old boy has died in hospital after a concrete wall fell on him on a private property near Toowoomba last night.

The little boy was badly injured when the structure collapsed on him at about 6pm Tuesday evening on a farm about 50km west of Toowoomba.

Paramedics briefly treated him at the scene but his head injuries were so serious that he was rushed to Lady Cilento Children's Hospital by the RACQ Careflight helicopter.

"It certainly is a traumatic set of circumstances, and our hearts go out to the family concerned," Stephen Johns, Senior Operations Supervisor for the Queensland Ambulance Service said at a press conference earlier this morning.

"It's traumatic not only for the family, but also for our paramedics that respond to cases like that," said Stephen Johns.

"The crew met the boy and his mother at a nearby helipad where he was taken to hospital," a CareFlight spokeswoman said.

Workplace Health and Safety will be investigating this incident.
