After the crash Quinn was taken to the Townsville University Hospital where he remains.
The statement written by the family read as follows.
“Tony (TQ) has suffered several broken bones, a punctured lung and is still in hospital. His partner Kate and TQ’s three kids are supporting each other and are there for TQ,” it said.
“The hospital team are doing a fantastic job, and the priority at the moment is to ensure TQ allows his body to rest after the trauma to his body. He is stable, and is aware of the outpouring of concern for him and he is humbled.
“His family wish to thank you all for the messages of support and concern. Their focus is on TQ and as such, we ask that if you want to get a message to them or TQ – please either post your message below, or private message us on this page and we will ensure he gets them all.
“You’ll appreciate that he’s made a lot of friends over the years, and it’s becoming a bit overwhelming for them as they are receiving 100’s of messages.
“We will keep you posted on his progress on his Tony Quinn Facebook page as and when it’s appropriate. For now, the family and TQ just need some space and privacy to focus on his recovery, which also means please no visitors to the hospital.
