A mother, father and their 1-year-old baby have all been killed in a horror crash at Oakey in the Toowoomba region.
The family was traveling eastbound on the Warrego Highway at the Oakey Creek Bridge around 11.15am on Tuesday when their vehicle and a truck collided head-on.
“As a result of that crash, a second collision has occurred between the westbound truck and another eastbound truck,” Queensland Police said.
The occupants of the sedan, a 40-year-old Roma man, 38-year-old Roma woman and 1-year-old Roma girl, all died at the scene.
A fourth passenger, a 36-year-old man, sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the westbound truck, a 20-year-old man, sustained non-life threatening injuries, while the driver of the eastbound truck, a 55-year-old man, managed to escape uninjured.
The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating the circumstances of the collision and are appealing for witnesses, especially those with dashcam vision or CCTV of the crash, or the moments leading up to it to come forward.
