At approximately 12:45 AM, emergency services, including the police, were dispatched following reports that a white Hino truck had collided with a 36-year-old woman from Moranbah.

The Queensland Police Service highlighted the importance of road safety, reminding the public of the ‘Fatal Five’ behaviors—speeding, impaired driving, not wearing seatbelts, fatigue, and distraction—which significantly contribute to serious accidents. They encourage everyone to contribute to safer roads by staying informed and vigilant. In response to this tragic event, the community and potential witnesses are urged to report any relevant information to Policelink or Crime Stoppers anonymously. The ongoing efforts to improve road safety are a collective responsibility, aiming to decrease the frequency and severity of such devastating incidents.
