The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating after a fatal traffic crash at Mooloolaba on Friday.

Initial investigations indicate that, at about 11.35am, a utility towing a caravan was travelling north on Brisbane Road when it veered into oncoming traffic and struck five vehicles, including a parked vehicle, which was pushed into a pedestrian.

The pedestrian, a 27-year-old Little Mountain man, was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a critical condition. He was later transported to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital where he subsequently died on Monday.

Anyone with information or dashcam footage of the incident is urged to contact police.
