Qld: Police officer dies in crash
A motorcycle police officer has died after a collision with a semi-trailer.
The accident occurred at the intersection of Logan Road and Gaskell Street at Eight
Mile Plains, south of Brisbane, about 1.10pm (AEST) today.
The 48-year-old officer died soon after being transported to Princess Alexandra Hospital.
His name has not been released.
Police are investigating the accident.
He became the 130th Queensland police officer to die on duty since the service started
collecting figures in 1864.
The last Queensland police officer to die on duty was Senior Constable NORMAN WATT,
who was shot while attending a stand-off in the central Queensland city of Rockhampton
last July.
