Australias' Severe Weather: Severe Thunderstorm Hits South-East Queensland Killing a Woman
Woman killed by fallen tree as wild Christmas storm lashes south-east Queensland
9 News Australia
A 59-year-old woman has been killed after severe storms ripped through parts of south-east Queensland on Monday night, bringing intense rain, large hail and fierce winds.
It comes as the Bureau of Meteorology issues new warnings for this afternoon and evening.
Police said the woman was struck by a tree in the suburb of Helensvale, on the Gold Coast, around 9:30pm.
Winds of 100 kph lashed the area, causing property damage and bringing down trees and more than 800 powerlines.
Queensland Ambulance said they did everything they could to save the woman, but she suffered critical injuries.
"Our hearts absolutely go out to the family of a 59-year-old female who died last night when a tree fell on the car that she was travelling in," Assistant Commissioner Gold Coast Region Andrew Hebbron said.
He said crews had up to 50 calls in the peak of the storm from people being injured in their homes to "less serious electrocutions", cuts and bruises.
Mr Hebbron said there are currently access issues around Canungra and Mount Tamborine, warning people to stay off the roads if possible.
The Bureau of Meteorology's Steven Hadley said the winds were the most damaging part of yesterday's "supercell thunderstorm".
