Last Friday, a man’s body was found in a ute submerged in flood waters west of Rockhampton in Central Queensland.
“Sadly, we saw the loss of a life where it appears a vehicle has entered waters when it shouldn't,” said Queensland Deputy Police Commissioner Steve Gollschewski.
“The message is clear: if it is flooded, forget it. For us, we don't want to see any of our officers or members of the community at risk. Listen to the messages and don’t go into flooded waters either in vehicles or on foot.”
