A young mother is in hospital after a horrifying crash claimed the life of her two-year-old son and two other passengers in Clarkes Creek, south of Mackay.

Kira Jasperson, 18, was travelling with her son Izaya Jasperson, 2, and partner Javarn Doyle, 20, from Rockhampton to Nebo on Marlborough Sarina Rd when the car left the road near Grave Gully Bridge and collided with a culvert about 10.15pm Thursday.

Tragically, young Izaya and a 59-year-old Park Avenue woman were pronounced dead at the scene.

Paramedics worked to save a fourth passenger, an 18-year-old Rockhampton man, but he tragically he died from his injuries on the way to the hospital.

It is alleged Izaya’s father, Mr Doyle, was the driver of the vehicle and escaped the wreckage with minor injuries.

No charges have been laid in relation to the crash.

Ms Jasperson remains in a stable condition at Rockhampton Hospital where she was treated for serious head, facial and pelvic injuries.

It is understood Ms Jasperson’s mother is with her but her father has been unable to reach the hospital because of the heavy rain in the area, leaving him landlocked at his home in Miles.

QAS Mackay District Senior Operations Supervisor Shane Tucker said the severe weather meant rescue choppers from neither Mackay nor Rockhampton were able to assist.

Mr Tucker said just to access the vehicle, paramedics waded through mud in heavy rain.

“From my understanding it was a very difficult extraction because the vehicle had rolled and some of the occupants were actually pinned under the car,” he said.

“Once they were actually freed from the wreckage, there was CPR commenced on the patients.”

Mackay Country Inspector Damian Wells said it was possible the inclement weather and fatigue could have played a role in the crash.

“(Routine) breath tests have been conducted, blood has been taken as part of the investigation,” Acting Inspector Wells said.

“There has been a significant amount of rain in the area over the last couple of days, whether that’s contributed to the crash itself is part of the investigation.”
