A Maleny Police spokesperson urged motorists to take care on our country roads. This is the second serious accident in our area in just a few days. He continued that most accidents are caused through inattention or by not remembering the “fatal four” causes of traffic incidents. Those are speeding, driving whilst under the influence of alcohol or drugs, driving when tired or fatigued and not wearing seat belts.
The greatest risk to people in the Maleny area from harm is on our roads.
