Two Dead After Stolen Vehicle Crashes into Two Cars in Rural Queensland
Two men, including the alleged driver of a stolen vehicle, have been killed in a fiery three-vehicle crash on the Gympie Curra Road in Chatsworth on Saturday afternoon.

The crash happened at approximately 3 pm. According to initial police investigations, a stolen black MG sedan sideswiped a black Toyota before striking a silver Holden.
The impact caused both the Toyota and the Holden to overturn, with the Holden subsequently catching fire.
The 20-year-old male driver of the stolen MG and the 50-year-old male driver of the Holden were both pronounced dead at the scene.
