A primary school boy has died after crashing head-on with another cyclist on an electric bike.
The collision occurred about 3.36pm on a bike path near the Kawana Way and Sunshine Motorway interchange at Mountain Creek on the Sunshine Coast.
A high school student was riding the other e-bike, and was not seriously injured.
The younger child was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a critical condition, but died not long after.
A police spokesperson confirmed the boys were travelling in opposite directions on their electrified bikes, and struck each other head-on.
They did not know if either boy was wearing a helmet, or if they were accompanied by an adult.
In Queensland e-bike riders must be 16 years old, or 12 if accompanied.
Anyone who witnessed the crash is urged to contact police, who are investigating. The older boy is assisting the investigation.
