Father and two siblings died in a car crash that occurred northwest of Toowoomba on Monday morning.
Their mother, on the other hand, was rushed to a hospital with serious injuries.
The family was traveling in a sedan when it was hit by a 4WD on the Dalby-Jandowae Road at Jimbour East.
A man driving the 4WD was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries.
It’s not clear how old the two children who were in the car were when the accident occurred.
Inspector Greg Wheeler described the incident as horrific.
It’s always tragic when there are children involved in a car crash.
In this case, the two children were in the rear seat of the vehicle, while their father died in the front.
The road was closed by the police and motorists were asked to avoid the area.
