A young man has died after a car and truck collided in a horror smash south of Brisbane on Friday afternoon.
Initial investigations suggest that the Ford Fiesta was travelling west on Mundoolun Connection Rd just before the intersection with Beaudesert Beenleigh Rd when it collided with a large dump truck.
An 18-year-old Boyland man was the sole occupant of the Ford and died at the scene of the crash, which was reported at 3.53pm.
