Eight lives lost in three days

Eight lives have been lost in three days on Queensland roads.

Police are appealing to motorists to make better decisions on our roads with speed and alcohol a contributing factor in many crashes.

Since Friday, eight lives have been lost including:

• Three drivers
• Four passengers; and
• One motorcyclist.

Acting Chief Superintendent Ray Rohweder explains the impact of a driver’s actions not only affects them but also those around them.

“On Friday afternoon, police responded to a crash at Eureka where a four-month-old baby girl received serious head injuries,” he said.

“Tragically her father, also a passenger in the vehicle, died at the scene. It’s hard to comprehend how that little girl will now grow up without her dad.”
