A 17-year-old girl has died after being bitten by a shark off Bribie Island, just north of Brisbane, on Monday afternoon.

The Queensland Ambulance Service sent crews to Rickman Parade at Woorim Beach at 4.45pm. In a social media post, the QAS described it as a “serious shark bite incident”.

Nine News reported the victim was bitten on the arm about 100 metres offshore, and was helped back to the beach.

Witnesses and paramedics tried to save her, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Woorim is the most popular beach on the island, connecting the oceanside suburb to a National Park popular with campers and 4WD enthusiasts.
