The 39-year-old Greenslopes woman was transported to the Princess Alexandra Hospital where she remains with serious leg injuries. The impact of the collision has left her in a critical condition. Family and hospital staff have expressed grave concern about the extent of her injuries.

The motorcycle has failed to stop and debris at the scene indicate it may be a black coloured motorcycle. No description of the rider has yet been released.
