Three men killed in horror crash west of Bundaberg

Two Queensland families are devastated after three young men were killed in a crash at an intersection in Bucca, west of Bundaberg, last night.

Father-of-two Chris Holmes, 25, his 22-year-old brother Leith Wakeham and their friend Simon Prideaux, 33, died at the intersection of Birthamba Road and Bishop Drive around 7pm.

The trio were on their way to a birthday party and were less than a kilometre from their destination when their car slammed into a tree.

Mr Holmes leaves behind two young girls.

"The inquiries that we have is that the deceased persons were seen at the South Kolan pub, and just after 7pm tonight they were travelling in a north-westerly direction along the road there and the driver's failed to negotiate a right-hand bend," a police spokesman said.

The Forensic Crash Unit spent the day at the scene of the crash.

Meanwhile, a 14-year-old boy who was struck by a car at Moore Park, near Bundaberg, on Friday has died in hospital.

The boy was crossing Moore Park Road on a motorcycle when he was struck by a ute.

He died today in the Lady Cilento Children's Hospital.
