00:00 This allegedly stolen car was at the centre of a violent crash that killed three people
00:07 on the Bruce Highway at Federal.
00:10 Police say the white Isuzu was chasing a Nissan Navara and then started ramming it from behind.
00:16 That Nissan Navara has then travelled into the southbound lanes of the Bruce Highway
00:20 and collided with that Great Wall motor vehicle.
00:22 A 25-year-old woman and a 65-year-old man in the Nissan were killed and the 38-year-old
00:28 woman they slammed into also died at the scene.
00:32 We also attended a 25-year-old male patient with serious injuries.
00:37 Police say he is known to them and also to the young woman in the car being pursued.
00:42 The white car which was involved in the crash was allegedly stolen at knife point from a
00:47 mum and her three children in Gympie late Thursday.
00:51 We're still speaking to witnesses from that robbery from yesterday so once we've pieced
00:55 that together we'll then make a determination and establish linkages between that person
00:59 who was located there this morning and the robbery from yesterday.
01:02 The Bruce Highway was closed for several hours as authorities investigated what caused this
01:07 horrific crash and cleaned up the wreckage spread across two lanes.
01:11 There is a very thorough police investigation underway in respect of this matter.
01:16 There is a number of complexities that need to be explored.
01:19 Our thoughts and prayers are with the families involved in that incident.
01:26 Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen the white-eyed suzus since 4pm Thursday
01:30 to call Crime Stoppers.
