Update – Serious traffic crash, Diddillibah

A 30-year-old man has died following a crash on a property at Diddillibah earlier this week.

At 2pm on December 13 a utility, with two passengers, was being driven by a 21-year-old around a property when it entered a deep body of water and became submerged.

The driver and a 19-year-old man in the front passenger seat were able to get out of the vehicle prior to it becoming completely submerged.

The male rear passenger, who was 29-years-old at the time, was trapped for a short time before being removed via the rear window.

He was transported to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a critical condition and remained on life support until he died early this morning.

Investigations are ongoing.
