A 36-year-old Blackwater man has died in a two vehicle crash on the Capricorn Highway, east of Westwood this morning.

Investigations indicate at 11.04am a motorcycle was travelling east on the Capricorn Highway when it collided with a utility at the intersection with Spring Creek Road.

The driver of the motorcycle, a 36-year-old Blackwater man, died at the scene.

The driver of the utility, a 65-year-old Rockhampton man, was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Forensic Crash Unit investigations are continuing.

The Queensland Police Service is committed to reducing number of lives lost on our roads.

Data shows that serious crashes can be significantly reduced when drivers recognise and avoid the ‘Fatal Five’ behaviours: speeding, drink and drug driving, not wearing seatbelts, fatigue and distraction.
