Wide Bay Burnett district police are urging drivers to consider their responsibility behind the wheel after four fatalities in two days on the roads.
The Forensic Crash Unit (FCU) is investigating three fatal incidents including a crash around 6am on 31 August in Kandanga which killed a 19-year-old Ningi man, a crash around 3pm on 30 August in Chatsworth which killed a 20-year-old Kilkivan man and a 50-year-old The Palms man, and a crash around 3pm in Apple Tree Creek which killed a 60-year-old Bundaberg South man.
Wide Bay Burnett District Officer Superintendent Anne Vogler said this is a reminder that road safety is your responsibility.
"We have tragically lost four lives across our district within two days which is devasting for our community," Superintendent Vogler said.
"Though investigations into the circumstances of the incidents are ongoing, it's likely Fatal Five factors like speed and driving under the influence were contributors to the crashes.
"The Fatal Five, and associated traffic and criminal offences, are all avoidable and can be prevented if you chose to.
"Though enforcement, education and engagement will continue to be the highest priority for us as police, road safety remains a responsibility that we share with the community.
"Your life, and the life of your passengers and other road users, are in your hands.
"Please drive or ride with that weighty responsibility in mind and make the right choses to ensure you do all you can to prevent road trauma.
"My thoughts are with the loved ones, communities and first responders that have been impacted by these losses."
FCU investigations into the three crashes are ongoing and anyone with information is urged to contact police.
The Queensland Police Service is committed to reducing the number of lives lost on our roads.
Data shows that serious crashes can be significantly reduced when drivers recognise and avoid the 'Fatal Five' behaviours: speeding, drink and drug driving, not wearing seatbelts, fatigue and distraction.
