The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating after two people died, and another was injured, following a two-vehicle traffic crash at Bells Creek this morning.
Initial investigations indicate at about 1.15am, a motorbike was travelling east along Central Avenue when it entered an intersection and struck a Toyota Corolla, which was travelling south along Aura Boulevard.
The driver of the Corolla, a 17-year-old Golden Beach boy, passed away at the scene.
His passenger, a 16-year-old Banya boy, was transported to Sunshine Coast University Hospital with minor injuries.
The rider, a man in his 30s, was also declared deceased at the scene.
Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the crash, including whether speed was a factor, are continuing.
Witnesses, particularly anyone with relevant vision of the motorbike prior to the crash, are urged to contact police.
The crash comes one day after the launch of Operation Spring Break, a state-wide road safety initiative targeting unsafe driving behaviours during the busy school-holiday travel period.
More than 200 people have lost their lives on Queensland roads this year.
Police are urging all motorists to be mindful of their driving and take necessary precautions to ensure everyone reaches their destinations safely.
