An Edmonton man is fighting for life after a serious crash in Cairns overnight, with the Forensic Crash Unit now investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Police say a white 2015 Volkswagen Amarok left Kamerunga Road at Barron around 7.45pm, striking a power pole before coming to rest in a roadside ditch. The driver — a 42‑year‑old Edmonton man — was rushed to Cairns Hospital, where he remains in a critical condition.
Investigators are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the crash or captured dash‑cam vision to come forward as inquiries continue.
The investigation remains ongoing as police work to determine what caused the vehicle to leave the roadway.
