Overview
- Two people died on the Sunshine Coast when a 68‑year‑old woman was struck by a southbound motorcycle and the 30‑year‑old rider also died at the scene.
- A late‑night intersection collision in Underwood between a black Audi and a grey Subaru left a male Subaru passenger in his 30s dead at the scene and two others with life‑threatening injuries.
- Fire crews used hydraulic cutting gear to free the Subaru driver, a woman in her 20s, who was taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital with life‑threatening injuries while other crash victims were also transported to the same hospital.
- Police say the Audi driver was initially reported uninjured but was later treated for chest and neck injuries and is being held under police guard in hospital as enquiries continue.
- The Queensland Forensic Crash Unit is investigating both collisions and is appealing for witnesses and any mobile, dashcam or CCTV footage to assist reconstruction and explain how the crashes unfolded.
