Woman dead and boy, 11, seriously injured after truck hits four-wheel-drive at busy intersection

A 73-year-old woman died after a truck collided with the Toyota HiLux she was driving at an intersection on the Cunningham Highway, southwest of Brisbane. Two passengers were injured, including an 11-year-old boy, and police are investigating how the crash occurred.

The collision happened near Boonah Fassifern Road at Fassifern at about 11.30am on Sunday; the HiLux was towing a boat and appears to have crossed in front of the truck. The boy suffered significant abdominal injuries, while a 22-year-old man sustained abdominal, pelvic and limb injuries; both were reported in stable condition. The highway was closed in both directions at 5pm, with motorists urged to avoid the area.
