Man dies days after ute he was in ends up in dam on Sunshine Coast property

A man has died just days after the ute he was travelling in plunged into a dam on a private property on the Sunshine Coast.

A man has died just days after he was placed on life support after the ute he was travelling in became submerged in a dam on the Sunshine Coast.

The 30-year-old was one of three passengers in the vehicle when it entered a “deep body of water”, which police confirmed was a dam, at Lifestyle Supports on Monday afternoon.

An investigation is under way after a ute crashed into a body of water at Lifestyle Supports' Diddillibah property.

The driver and a 19-year-old man in the front passenger seat got out of the vehicle before it submerged, police said.

The 30-year-old was extracted through a rear window and placed on life support at Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

The accident occurred at a property at Diddillibah, about 6km west of Maroochydore.

The deceased was 29 year old when the accident occurred but turned 30 in the days that followed.
