Three dead in horror 12 hours on Queensland roads
Three men are dead after a tragic 12-hour window on south-east Queensland roads.
Two men, aged 32 and 23, were killed in a hit at run at Windsor on election night, police said.
"This is possibly the worst traffic accident I have seen in more than 30 years of policing," Inspector Daniel Bragg told reporters in the early hours of Sunday morning.
A total of seven cars were caught up in the carnage. Two people died and three others were taken to hospital for treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
Two people in a black BMW SUV fled the crash on foot after smashing into a moped and a sedan in Brisbane's inner-northern suburb of Windsor just before midnight.
The BMW was headed north on Lutwyche Road when it collided with the moped, ridden by a 32-year-old East Brisbane man, who was killed.
The hit-and-run duo then crashed into the Subaru sedan, killing the 23-year-old Acacia Ridge driver, before also colliding with a Jeep, police said.
In a separate crash at Mount Nebo, north-west of Brisbane, a motorcyclist died when he crashed into a tree on Sunday morning.
Police said no other cars were involved in the 9.30am crash.
The male rider, aged in his 20s, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The forensic crash unit was investigating the circumstances surrounding both crashes.
