A man has died following a horror single-car crash on a busy Sunshine Coast road earlier this week.
An initial police investigation shows about 5.20pm, a silver Mitsubishi Triton was travelling north on the Sunshine Motorway at Peregian Springs, when it left the road after passing through the roundabout with Murdering Creek Rd and crashed into a tree on January 9.
The driver, a 20-year-old Sippy Downs man, was transported to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital, where he died as result of his injuries.
A 56-year-old Cooroibah man, a passenger of the vehicle, was not physically injured.
