Lifeguards marking tracks for vehicles on beaches after sunbathers run over A Gold Coast lifeguard could face charges after accidentally running over and seriously injuring two beachgoers at Surfers Paradise. Police said the 24-year-old lifeguard who ran over the couple at Surfer's Paradise could face dangerous or careless driving charges. GOLD Coast lifeguards are marking beach driving tracks with traffic cones after two sunbathers were run over by a lifeguard vehicle on Surfers Paradise beach this week. Driving corridors have been set up on beaches next to patrol areas up and down the Coast after Monday's accident, which left the Brisbane couple, aged in their 20s, in hospital with leg and chest injuries. But senior lifeguards denied the move was in response to the accident and said the cones had long been used to mark driving tracks on busy days. Police said the 24-year-old lifeguard who ran over the couple could face dangerous or careless driving charges. The police Forensic Crash Unit is investigating and officers expect to interview the lifeguard next week. They have appealed for witnesses and are also looking for any CCTV footage. The victims remain in hospital in a stable condition. Meanwhile, senior lifeguard Chris Maynard said the beaches were "very busy" but there had been no major incidents. We've had a couple of rescues but ... it's been a pretty perfect Christmas Day.
