  • Police have identified the four people killed as 28-year-old Shaun Ranger, his children Baylee, 7, and Chandler, 6, and 32-year-old Corey Bietzel.
  • Two men from the Toyota HiLux remain in hospital, with one in life-threatening condition and the other in serious but stable condition.
  • The Capricorn Highway between Comet and Blackwater is still closed under a 50-kilometre detour via Rileys Crossing Road and Blackwater–Cooroorah Road.
  • Queensland Police Service has launched a forensic investigation into the high-speed, head-on collision and is urging anyone with dashcam or witness information to come forward.
