Authorities are currently looking into the possibility that reckless driving, known as “hooning,” might have played a role in a tragic car accident north-west of Brisbane that resulted in the death of a woman and left a man seriously injured.
The collision, which involved a Holden Commodore and a black BMW, occurred late last night on the Brisbane Valley Highway near Lake Wivenhoe, shortly after 11 p.m.
The Holden’s driver, a 23-year-old woman from Bracken Ridge, was pronounced dead at the scene. Meanwhile, her passenger, a 24-year-old man from Mango Hill, sustained serious injuries and was transported to Brisbane’s Princess Alexandra Hospital.
The BMW’s driver, a 30-year-old woman, was also taken to the hospital, though her injuries are not considered life-threatening.
Police have stated that they are investigating whether the deceased woman was part of a group engaged in hooning activities in the vicinity prior to the crash, although this has yet to be confirmed.
Police confirmed they are investigating whether the woman was part of a group of cars that were hooning in the area just before the crash occurred, but this has not been confirmed.
No charges have been laid.
Police are appealing for any eyewitnesses or people with dashcam footage of the crash to come forward.
