The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating following a three-vehicle traffic crash in South Maclean last night, 9 August.

Initial investigations indicate at approximately 8pm, a white Ford Falcon was travelling south along Teviot Road when it entered an intersection and collided with a grey Hyundai i30, which was turning right onto Cusack Lane, and a silver Mazda 2, which was travelling north along Teviot Road.

The driver of the Hyundai i30, a woman in her 20s, was transported to Princess Alexandra Hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The passenger of the Hyundai i30, five occupants of the Ford Falcon, and two occupants of the Mazda 2 all sustained minor injuries.

Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the crash, including whether speed was a factor, are continuing.

Witnesses, particularly anyone with relevant vision in the lead up to the crash, are urged to contact police.

The Queensland Police Service is committed to reducing the number of lives lost on our roads.

Data shows that serious crashes can be significantly reduced when drivers recognise and avoid the ‘Fatal Five’ behaviours: speeding, drink and drug driving, not wearing seatbelts, fatigue and distraction.
