Beyond the carnage: stories from the road
This year alone, we have already seen more than 100 lives lost on Queensland roads.
Every crash involves emergency service officers, from general duties police, paramedics and sometimes firefighters.
After the sirens and lights have stopped, it’s the Forensic Crash Unit that remain on the scene for hours conducting investigations, collecting evidence and in many cases delivering the bad news to the victims loved ones.
Two Forensic Crash Unit officers have told their own stories, in their own words.

If any member of the public witnesses dangerous or anti-social behaviour on Queensland road, report it to police.
If the crime is happening now, call Triple Zero 000; or 13Hoon for anti-social behaviour.
