Police are investigating a fatal single-vehicle traffic crash that occurred on Sinclairs Rd near the Bunya Highway on September 26 after the 20-year-old Wattle Ridge driver died in hospital.
Emergency services were called around 11.27am to the crash north of Dalby where it was believed the vehicle left the road and hit a tree.
