Road toll: Man killed by car he was travelling in; one dead when parked car hit POLICE are investigating two separate car crashes that claimed two peoples lives in northern Queensland overnight. A 24-year-old man died after he was hit by a car about 60km north of Charters Towers between 8.30pm and 9.30pm on Monday night. Initial investigations indicate that the three men were in a car on Fletcher Vale Rd when they pulled over and stopped. The man who died was hit by the car sometime after it stopped but police have yet to determine what he was doing outside the car. The two men who were with him, both aged 24, drove the man to Charters Towers Hospital but hospital staff pronounced him dead on arrival. Police are trying to find where the crash scene was as the men are not from the area but are cooperating with the investigation. Officers want to speak with anyone who saw a white dual cab four wheel drive on the road of the Lynd Highway between 8.30pm and 9.30pm on Monday night. In a separate incident, a person died on a Townsville road after a car crashed into a parked vehicle. Police believe four people were in the car on Ross River Rd at Cranbrook when it crashed into a parked car just before 1.30am. One person died at the scene while three men were taken to Townsville Base Hospital with one in a serious condition while the others had non-life threatening injuries. Police believe several people may have fled the scene. A police spokeswoman said that at this stage they did not want to release the age or gender of the person who died as next of kin had yet to be notified. Two inbound lanes of Ross River Rd remain closed as the Forensic Crash Unit investigates.
