Police are appealing for witnesses to a road smash that claimed the lives of three people in the Lockyer Valley west of Brisbane on Monday afternoon.
Three members of a family were killed when their car collided with a semi-trailer.
Early investigations suggest the family sedan crossed into the path of a B-double truck on the Warrego Highway near Gatton shortly after 2:00pm AEST.
A 45-year-old woman and her sons, aged eight and 17, died at the scene.
The truck driver was not seriously hurt but was flown to a Brisbane hospital for treatment.
Police say the family was returning to Ipswich from a day trip to Toowoomba.
"They didn't stand a chance and, as I said, remarkably one person has survived this accident," Acting Inspector Peter McFarlane said.
The driver of the car was flown to hospital with head injuries.
