Queensland Ambulance Service Senior Operations Supervisor Steven Clarke said paramedics received a call at 9.20am following reports that a male toddler had been hit by a car on Lyon Avenue in Oxley.
"When our officers arrived at the scene the young boy was visibly upset," he said.
"Paramedics conducted an assessment and his vital signs revealed they were all within normal limits, so that meant to us that his airway breathing and circulation were adequate.
"The young boy sustained some bruising and a hematoma to his head, and some grazes on his forehead and his upper back.
"At this stage it didn't look like the tyre of the vehicle had made contact with the young boy."
The toddler was taken to Lady Cilento Children's Hospital in a serious but stable condition with a Critical Care paramedic on board just after 10am.
