Appeal for witnesses in fatal traffic crash

The family of a 47-year-old woman killed in a traffic crash south of Gympie last month have joined police in appealing for witnesses and motorists with dashcam footage.

Just before 7pm on Sunday October 25, Karmen Ellemor exited her car on the southbound side of the Bruce Highway near Mary Valley Link Road and was struck by a truck shortly afterwards.

Investigations have identified vehicles that have passed the Karmen’s white Subaru XV hatchback parked in the southbound lanes around the time of the incident.

While these drivers are not involved in the crash, investigators believe they may have crucial information that could assist with understanding the circumstances of the crash.

Senior Constable Tony Noble from Sunshine Coast Forensic Crash Unit has asked for anyone who was in the area between 6.30 and 7.30pm to contact police.

“Officers are trying to gather a complete picture of the incident to complete our investigation, but most importantly, so Karmen’s family can gain an understanding of how she died.”
