Sunshine Coast teen killed in tragic crash

A Sunshine Coast teen has been killed in a horror crash while waiting for emergency assistance on the side of the Bruce Highway.

Police are investigating the crash that took the life of a 17-year-old man in Palmview on Monday 30 August.

Early information indicates the man was travelling north on the Bruce Highway when his car collided with the guard rail.

He exited his vehicle and was waiting for assistance in the emergency stopping lane.

At about 8pm another vehicle, also heading northbound, hit the man.

The man was pronounced deceased at the scene and the driver of the second vehicle was taken to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Anyone with information relating to this incident or relevant dash cam footage from that area is urged to contact police.

The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating.
