The Easter road toll took a devastating turn on Monday morning when a motorcycle collided with a car near Koumala, resulting in a 60-year-old man passing away at the scene.
Police reported that the man was the driver of the motorcycle and his 19-year-old pillion passenger was flown to the Townsville Hospital with critical head injuries.
A 63-year-old woman, the driver of the car, had moderate injuries and was transported to the Mackay Base Hospital for treatment. Police said the four passengers in the car were not injured.
The Forensic Crash Unit investigations are continuing, and investigators would like to speak to anyone with relevant dashcam footage from that area or anyone with information that could assist.
