Two die in accidents in one week

There were two fatal crashes on the Sunshine Coast in the past week.

Sunshine Coast Police Forensic Crash Unit investigations are ongoing in both accidents and police are appealing to any witnesses or anyone with relevant dashcam vision to come forward.

On Thursday 9 January a 20-year-old Sippy Downs man sustained life-threatening injuries in a crash in Peregian Springs before later dying in hospital.

At about 5.20pm, a silver Mitsubishi Triton was travelling north on the Sunshine Motorway, when it left the road after passing through the roundabout with Murdering Creek Road and crashed into a tree.

The 20-year-old driver of the vehicle was transported to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital, where he has since died as result of his injuries.

A 56-year-old Cooroibah man, a passenger of the vehicle, was not physically injured.

On Sunday 12 January a 49-year-old Crohamhurst man died at the scene of the accident in Crohamhurst.

Just after 5pm, a green Kawasaki motorcycle was travelling on Bretons Road when it crashed into a gold Nissan Patrol.

The 49-year-old rider of the motorcycle died at the scene.

A 22-year-old Peachester woman, the driver and sole occupant of the Nissan, was not physically injured.
