Road safety officials say five adult males were involved in the crash – two of whom have died. Two others “escaped unhurt”.

Joshua was “rescued alive and sustained minor injuries”. He was taken for “medical attention”.

An update from the Federal Road Safety Corps says a Lexus Jeep involved in the incident was suspected to be travelling “beyond the legally prescribed speed limit”.

They say the car lost control during “an overtaking manoeuvre” and crashed into a stationary truck by the side of the road.
