The boy went missing on Saturday morning after a jet ski carrying a 34-year-old man and a six-year-old boy, believed to be the boy's father and brother, crashed into the side of Lake Moondarra and hit him at high speed.

The man and the six-year-old were taken to Mount Isa Hospital with suspected head, spinal and leg injuries.
