A 28-year-old Gulliver man has sadly passed away following a two-vehicle traffic crash in Coppabella last week on November 9.
He was identified as Dylan Wheeler, with initial information indicating the Ford Focus that Mr Wheeler was driving rear-ended a Toyota Hilux on the Peak Downs Highway around 6.10am.
The young father sustained critical injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The driver of the other vehicle, a 39-year-old Proserpine woman, was not physically injured.
An AFL Club which Mr Wheeler was a former member of posted a notification of his death on the club’s Facebook Page, with the club encouraging people to reach out if they needed support.
The Northern Beaches SUNS AFL Club said, “If you need to talk to someone to help you through this, please talk to your coach or mates, we're all there for each other.”
The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating the circumstances of the crash.
