Brisbane road toll rises over the weekend

The road toll has risen to 97 over the weekend following two accidents caused by drivers on the wrong side of the road.

 

The two fatal head-on collisions occurred within 24 hours, with a ute hitting a car on the Gateway Motorway followed by a two-car incident on the Pacific Motorway south of Brisbane.

 

The Forensic Investigation Unit is investigating both accidents, with drug and alcohol as the focus.
