The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating a fatal, single vehicle crash on the Bruce Highway, two kilometres south of the Waverley Creek rest area.
Mackay Police reported that initial investigations indicate just after 7am on Monday July 3, a white Mitsubishi wagon rolled before coming to rest back on its wheels.
Senior Sergeant Tony McDowall confirmed the car had been travelling south towards Brisbane when it had veered off the road, crossing the centre line before leaving the road and rolling multiple times. A woman in her twenties was found deceased at the scene. A man in his twenties, thought to be the woman’s partner, was driving the vehicle and sustained chest and shoulder injuries. He was taken to Rockhampton Hospital in a stable condition.
Police are appealing for anyone who saw the crash or may have dash-cam footage of the white Mitsubishi on the highway before the crash, to contact them.
