00:02A small floral tribute, marking the site of a horrific incident.
00:06Just a terrible, terrible tragedy.
00:09About 2.45 yesterday afternoon, a 36-year-old woman and her 10-year-old stepdaughter were on their way
00:16to school pickup at Tinana South,
00:18when the driver lost control, crashing through a fence and into a dam.
00:22About two hours later, the property owner spotted the vehicle, called triple zero and pulled them from the car.
00:28That man was a hero and what he did was incredibly brave and incredibly traumatic given the fact that that
00:34lady's partner was right with him at the time.
00:37The girl's father was alerted when the school called to tell him his children hadn't been picked up.
00:42He was at the crash scene when police arrived.
00:45These were locals to our community and there is no other way to say it, it is just a horrible
00:50tragedy.
00:51She was a beautiful little girl, she was full of life, she had the most beautiful big smile.
00:56Police say early investigations suggest the crash was an accident.
01:01Potentially inattentional speed, however those matters are still being investigated.
01:06220 lives have been lost on Queensland's roads so far this year, 26 of those in the Wide Bay region.
01:14Police say every death is a tragedy that could have been avoided and are calling on motorists to take more
01:19care on the road.
01:20It's like I'm the grim reaper of Maryborough and I'm fed up with it.
01:25These tragedies are preventable deaths.
01:29of all times, the most likely has been lost on our own right for the most of the world.
01:30There is a tragedy that has this past.
01:30If you are telling us about a new disease here, the loss of people will be lost on the road.
01:32We are not dead your run.
