The 67-year-old man who was swept from a flooded causeway at Marys Creek, near Gympie, last night has been found dead.
Police and swift water rescue officers found the man inside his submerged car early this morning.
Police say the man and his wife got out of their car when they encountered a flooded causeway. However, the man then got back into the car in a bid to move it but the vehicle was swept away by the rushing water.
The man’s wife is in a distressed state, but is otherwise unharmed.
