An elderly man has died and his female passenger has been badly injured after their car crashed into a LandCruiser towing a caravan near Tiaro in Queensland.
The man and woman in the four-wheel-drive did not sustain any physical injuries.
Police said initial information suggested a sedan was travelling northbound on Netherby Road about 1.5 kilometres south of Tiaro when it crashed into the LandCruiser towing a caravan heading south.
The 86-year-old male driver of the sedan was pronounced dead at the scene. The 84-year-old female passenger in the sedan was airlifted to Sunshine Coast Hospital in a stable condition with non-life threatening injuries. The elderly couple are believed to be from Hervey Bay.
The crash reportedly occurred 200 metres from the Bruce Hwy turnoff on a straight stretch of single lane bitumen road that has no line markings on it.
The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating.
