Story summary

On Thursday just before 5:30 pm, emergency services were called to Springvale Road in Tinana South, south of Maryborough, after reports of a vehicle entering the water. A 36-year-old woman and a 10-year-old girl from the area were found dead inside a blue Subaru Tribeca that had driven into a dam on a rural property. Police are investigating whether the car left the road before hitting the water; initial inquiries indicate this might be the case. Local authorities have urged anyone with information or footage to contact them as investigations continue. The exact relationship between the deceased woman and girl has not been confirmed by police, but they were reportedly not mother and daughter.
