24-year-old Gregory River man, Oscar Jensen, tragically lost his life, following a single vehicle accident at Dingo Beach on the evening of Wednesday, July 19.
Initial investigations indicate that Mr Jensen’s Toyota Landcruiser Ute, travelling west along Dingo Beach Road, had lost control and rolled near Earlando Road, shortly before 6.30pm.
Detective Inspector Emma Novosel said that the “ute unexplainedly left the road and collided with a culvert.”
“Forensic Crash Unit officers are investigating, and early indicators suggest that speed and distraction may have been a contributing factor to the crash,” said Detective Inspector Novosel.
Mr Jensen was the sole occupant of the ute and was declared deceased at the scene by paramedics.
Mr Jensen’s father, Dean Jensen posted to Facebook shortly after the accident, “Last night, I lost a third of my heart, soul, and life. I have no words. I will love and miss u until the day I die. RIP O.”
Friends and family have also shared their condolences on the post.
“Sending love to your and the family Deano,” said one commentor.
“Condolences you and the family Dean. Our hearts are breaking for you all,” said another.
“Oscar was a very loved and welcomed regular at our home and hut. Our hearts are broken, we will miss him so very much,” said another poster.
Today, a Celebration of Life for Oscar was held on the family property.
