A former Bandidos member has been charged with attempted murder following a horrific road rage incident on the Gold Coast.

Lionel Patea, 24, was charged with several offences including attempted murder at Gold Coast University Hospital on Wednesday following the incident on a suburban street in Molendinar on Tuesday morning.

His alleged victim, Tara Brown, remains in a critical condition at the same hospital. Police say it's unlikely the 24-year-old will survive.
