A 75-year-old Carseldine man has died following a single-vehicle crash on Gympie Road in neighbouring Aspley, with police now investigating the circumstances.
Emergency services were called to the scene around 7.11pm on April 25 after a Nissan Pulsar left the roadway and struck a power pole. Despite being treated at the scene, the driver was pronounced dead shortly after.
The Queensland Police Service Forensic Crash Unit is examining what led to the vehicle leaving the road.
While the incident occurred in Aspley, the driver’s connection to Carseldine has brought the tragedy closer to home for local residents, particularly those who regularly use Gympie Road — one of the area’s busiest corridors.
Investigators are appealing for anyone who may have seen the crash or has relevant CCTV or dashcam footage from the area around the time of the incident to come forward.
Information can be provided to police via Policelink or anonymously through Crime Stoppers, quoting reference number QP2600798278.
