A teenage girl and an elderly man were rushed to hospital after a boat explosion on the Murray River in South Australia.
Emergency crews were called to Paisley, about 100 kilometers north of Adelaide, just before 12.15pm after witnesses reported seeing the boat explode near the river bank.
It is understood that both the teenager and the 69-year-old man suffered burns to their lower bodies and at least one is considered to have suffered “serious” injuries.
SA Ambulance said they sent a rescue helicopter to transport patients to the Royal Adelaide Hospital.
