Kedron Community Shaken After Wrong-Way Driver Causes Multi-Vehicle Crash

A wrong-way collision in Kedron has left a local motorcyclist fighting serious injuries after a multi-vehicle pileup disrupted a major suburban intersection.



The incident unfolded around 8:30 a.m. on 3 June when emergency responders rushed to Gympie Road at the junction of Kedron Street. Early police investigations point to a white Volkswagen T-Roc crossing over onto the incorrect side of the road. 

This sudden movement forced an immediate and unavoidable collision with a white Hyundai i30, turning a routine morning drive into a scene of chaos for local residents.

The force of the initial crash created a dangerous chain reaction. The Hyundai was pushed directly into the path of a grey Honda motorcycle, severely impacting the rider. Emergency medical crews quickly treated the 46-year-old Albany Creek man at the scene before transporting him to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital. 

Authorities confirmed his condition as serious but stable, while noting that no other drivers or passengers involved required medical treatment for physical injuries.



Local law enforcement is now turning to the public to piece together the exact cause of the crash. Officers stated that any bystanders or passing drivers who might have captured the event on dashcam video should come forward to share their recordings with police. Community cooperation remains essential for the ongoing investigation to ensure local road safety measures are properly addressed moving forward.

Early Intervention Program Launched In Gordon Park

A new early intervention program has been introduced in Gordon Park as part of a wider initiative supporting at-risk young people and their families across Brisbane.



Background On Early Intervention

A series of community-based programs have been funded to reduce the risk of youth crime across Brisbane, Logan and Ipswich. In the first round of the Kickstarter grants, announced in 2025, eleven initiatives shared $2.7 million in funding.

The grants form part of a broader early intervention strategy aimed at supporting young people aged eight to seventeen who may be vulnerable to offending behaviour. Programs were selected to provide life skills, mentoring and culturally responsive activities, with the intention of strengthening families and creating safer communities.

Gordon Park Program

In Gordon Park, ARC Parenting has been funded to deliver the Parenting on the ARC program. This initiative runs for 12 months and is designed for parents and caregivers of at-risk children and youth.

The program combines workshops, counselling and assessments to help families improve emotional regulation, reduce conflict and strengthen relationships. It also uses culturally responsive approaches to build resilience and create safer, more connected homes.

Broader Rollout Of Initiatives

Other funded programs are located in Bridgeman Downs, Wynnum West, Aspley, Loganholme, Wacol, Ipswich, Logan Central and Springfield Lakes. These initiatives range from mentoring and education support to animal care programs and cultural reconnection activities.

Funding in this first round of grants is part of a longer-term early intervention strategy, which includes separate streams such as the Proven Initiatives program. That program, with $65 million allocated over five years, focuses on supporting established initiatives with a proven track record. Expressions of interest for Proven Initiatives opened on 3 September 2025 and close on 20 October 2025.

Next Steps



Round two of the Kickstarter grants offered up to $300,000 for eligible community-based programs. Applications for this round closed on 10 September 2025, with outcomes still to be announced.
