In a tragic incident in a remote Aboriginal community in Queensland, authorities have arrested a man following a devastating car crash that claimed the lives of a 10-year-old girl and a woman.

The accident occurred on Doomadgee Road in the community of Doomadgee, about 400 kilometers north of Mount Isa. The car, carrying five occupants, crashed around 6:30 a.m. local time.

Upon arrival, emergency services encountered a harrowing scene, with all passengers sustaining serious injuries.
