Two die in Gold Coast car crash

Two people have died after the car they were in rolled on a Gold Coast hinterland road.

The pair died at the scene of the crash on the Beaudesert-Beenleigh Road at Wolffdene just after 8.30am (AEST).

A section of the thoroughfare between Stanmore and Veivers roads will be closed until midday (AEST).

Police are urging motorists to avoid the area.

The two deaths have taken Queensland's road toll for the national holiday period to five.

However, Queensland police say one fatality was caused by a medical condition.

The national road toll period runs from midnight on December 23, 2013, until 11.59pm on January 3, 2014, local times, in line with the Australia New Zealand Policing Advisory Board.
