Yesterday on the first day of this new year 2009, there was a fatal car crash just up the road from our place. The only person in the car, an 82 year old man, was killed when his car swerved off the road (somewhere between Browns Lane and Cooberrie Park) and travelled around 90 metres before smashing into a tree. Just after the time of the crash around 2:30pm, we saw two ambulances racing up the road in that direction.
This morning I was looking over the local news for the Yeppoon area and saw this Morning Bulletin article about it.
The man has been the 3rd person to die in the Central Queensland area in the New Year period.
