Queensland Police were earlier unable to confirm if the man and child had lost their lives in the crash but if paramedics do not take patients with life-threatening injuries to hospital, it is understood they have tragically died at the scene.
Footage from the scene showed a broken children’s bike lying on the footpath.
Police confirmed the man and boy, both from nearby Crestmead, are known to each other.
The driver of the white LDV dual cab ute, a 41-year-old from Regents Park, was not injured.
He was taken into custody at the scene and has been charged with two counts of manslaughter. He will appear at Beenleigh Magistrates Court on Monday.
