UPDATE 3.30PM: Police have yet to release the identity of a 19-year-old Noosaville woman killed in a head-on crash with a truck on the Sunshine Coast.
The teenager died when her car and truck collided on Walter Hay Dr at Doonan about 3.30pm yesterday.
Peak hour traffic was turned around as the busy road that links Noosa with Maroochydore was closed for almost four hours while an oil spill was contained and cleaned up.
The sedan and truck, as well as debris from both vehicles that was scattered for hundreds of metres, also had to be removed before the road was reopened.
The teen, who was believed to have been driving south in a red Hyundai sedan, appeared to cross the centre line into the path of the truck, according to one eyewitness who declined to be named.
Her vehicle was extensively damaged and she died at the scene.
The truck driver was taken to Nambour Hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was released later on Wednesday night.
The forensic crash unit is investigating.
THURSDAY 8AM:  Investigations will continue today into how a 19-year-old woman died in when the car she was driving collided with a truck on the Sunshine Coast.
The fatal crash occurred on Wednesday afternoon near Noosaville.
Police said initial information suggests that a Hyundai sedan was travelling south on Walter Hay Drive shortly before 3.30pm when it collided with a truck.
The sedan was extensively damaged.
The driver and sole occupant, the 19-year-old woman, was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The truck's driver was taken to Nambour Hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
Walter Hay Drive was closed for several hours.

Apparently the Hyundai crossed to the wrong side of the road.
She wasn't texting (phone was in her handbag).

Terrible for her family, the truck driver and all who attended.

Just a PS. Someone with better eyes than I have may be able to confirm it's an i30. That's what was reported locally. There's a possibility it was an Accent.

Zooming into the roadside picture, I believe it is indeed an FD i30. :(

Very sad! My youngest is 19! I think, looking at the C pillar shape and the hub caps it might be an Accent. I wonder if it was deliberate, a heartbroken teen?

It crossed my mind whether we have a 19yo female member, but with an Accent it's unlikely. :undecided:

5 stud wheels, curvature of the doors and creaseline, quarter glass, indicator in guard all look like FD i30.  What year Accent you thinking?

Yep. Definitely 5 stud wheels. The Accent is 4.
And the door handles are black, not colour coded as on the Accent.

I was referring to the current Accent which as you know, is pretty much like an i30 shrunk by about 10%.

Yep, still looks like an FD i30 to me. :goodjob:
Is there an efficient way to scan the member base for a match, I wonder?

You certainly have to look twice sometimes and then you have the i20!

Oh well, wait and see, I guess.

I stopped my member scan at XXXX as a possible.
She hasn't posted yet. I won't search any more. Too morbid. :rolleyes:

You could narrow it down a bit (at 19, would have had to have joined in last 2 years or so)

With only roughly 8000 members worldwide the % of owners who are members would be much less than 1% ...

It looks like an FD to me.
My first thought was either fell asleep or suicide.
It probably won't be reported anyway.
