Police are calling on motorists to come forward with dashcam footage following a fatal collision on the Logan Motorway at Forest Lake on Boxing Day morning.
The crash occurred around 11.55am on Thursday in the westbound lanes of the motorway, when a white Kia Cerato collided with a blue Kia Cerato that had stopped in an emergency bay.
According to Queensland Police Service, the driver of the blue vehicle — a 78-year-old man from Wilsonton — had been standing outside his car when the collision occurred. He was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The driver of the white Kia, a 33-year-old woman from Cleveland, was not physically injured in the crash. Police confirmed she is cooperating with investigators.
Authorities are particularly interested in obtaining dashcam vision from anyone who witnessed the incident or observed either vehicle in the lead-up to the crash.
The tragedy marks another Boxing Day fatality on Queensland roads, adding to ongoing concerns about motorway safety during the busy holiday period.
The investigation remains ongoing, with the Forensic Crash Unit examining the circumstances surrounding the collision.
