Dalby police senior constable Brad Davidson said preliminary investigations indicated the Commodore veered onto the wrong side of the road before colliding with a truck.

“The road marking suggest it was on the wrong side of the road (for the Commodore) and the truck driver has done his best to avoid it,” senior constable Davidson said.

“But he has braked significantly prior to the impact.”
