Bribie Island

TWO men have survived a helicopter crash on the northern tip of Bribie Island, north of Brisbane.

The helicopter crashed about 9am (AEST) in an area of mangroves at the northern tip of the island, just over 3km south-east of Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast.

A Queensland ambulance service spokesman said one of the men suffered chest injuries, while the other had sustained head and leg injuries.

The ambulance spokesman said the crash was in an area inaccessible to motor vehicles.

He said one helicopter had already landed at the crash scene and a second was on its way to take the men to hospital.
