A woman has been killed in a car crash east of Lockhart River in north Queensland.
It's believed the car she was travelling in left the road and collided with a tree at about 2.30pm on Monday.
The woman, 44, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The car's driver, a 34-year-old man, was flown to Cairns Base Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
It came hours after another crash, which left an elderly driver dead and a policeman injured in hospital.
Police say the woman's car drifted onto the wrong side of the road, colliding head-on with a police car shortly before 11am at Mullet Creek, north of Bundaberg.
The elderly motorist was pronounced dead at the scene.
Members of her family were travelling in a nearby car after a camping trip, the Bundaberg News Mail reports.
The policeman suffered a suspected broken leg.
