Two people have died following a crash involving a stolen vehicle at Chatsworth yesterday afternoon.

About 3pm, emergency services were called to a three-vehicle crash on Gympie Curra Road, just north of Gympie.

Initial investigations suggest a stolen black MG sedan was dangerously overtaking vehicles at speed when it collided with the side of a black Toyota sedan, before hitting a third vehicle, a silver Holden sedan, causing both vehicles to flip and the Holden to catch on fire.

The driver of the stolen vehicle, a 20-year-old Kilkivan man, and the driver of the Holden, a 50-year-old The Palms man, both died at the scene.

The Forensic Crash Unit’s investigations into the circumstances of the crash are ongoing.

Police are appealing for witnesses or anyone with relevant dashcam footage to come forward.
