Police investigating a fatal traffic crash in Doomadgee on Friday, 7 November, have released images of the vehicles involved as they appeal for further information.
Around 6.30am, emergency services were called to a traffic crash on Doomadgee Road involving a black 2011 Nissan Maxima and a white 2006 Toyota LandCruiser.
The driver and four passengers of the Landcruiser were located with serious injuries.
The driver, a 30-year-old Cloncurry woman, and a passenger, a 10-year-old girl, died as a result of the crash.
The other passengers of the vehicle, a 1-year-old boy, a 3-year-old girl and a 4-year-old boy were transported to hospital for treatment.
A 28-year-old man who was arrested shortly after the incident remains in police custody while investigations remain ongoing.
Investigators have released images of both the Nissan Maxima and Toyota LandCruiser involved in the incident and are appealing to anyone who may have seen either vehicle in the days leading up to the incident to contact police.
