Entry to Nind Street was blocked from High and Johnston Streets while ambulance paramedics treated and stabilised the injured rider.
A Queensland Ambulance spokesperson said the man suffered life threatening head injuries and was rushed to Gold Coast University Hospital in a critical condition.
Thankyou to all who helped my Dad and I at the scene, especially the paramedics and police.
I’m slowly recuperating and feeling deeply grateful to the staff and the treatment I recieved at our world class new hospital.
