Two young boys have died after being left inside a car in rural Queensland.
A two-year-old boy was rushed to the local hospital in Woorabinda, some 170km west of Rockhampton, at 7.48pm on Friday night.
The boy had been found inside a parked car on Richardson Street unconscious and not breathing.
Paramedics met the private car carrying the boy at the hospital and a rescue helicopter was on standby.
However, attempts to resuscitate him failed and the toddler was declared dead before he arrived.
