Three die in two south-east crashes involving motorbikes

By William Davis

A man is dead after his motorcycle collided with a ute in Moreton Bay overnight.

The 34-year-old from Redcliffe was allegedly struck by a Nissan Dualis on Burpengary Road in Narangba about 7pm on Friday.

The ute’s male driver and his female passenger – both 21-year-olds from Caboolture – suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

The Narangba crash came just hours before two people were killed on the Sunshine Coast.

They were taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital and were assisting police with their inquiries.

The Forensic Crash Unit has asked anyone who saw the crash or has relevant footage to come forward.

The collision came just hours before two people were killed in another crash involving a motorcycle and a car on the Sunshine Coast.

The driver of a Toyota Corolla and the motorbike rider were both killed on Central Avenue, Bells Creek, about 1.15am.

A passenger in the car was injured and taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

The FCU is investigating whether speed was a factor.
