Car hits power pole, sliced in half

Woman killed in crash

Police believe speed responsible

QUEENSLAND Police will hold an internal investigation into a fatal crash at Upper Mount Gravatt after it was revealed the car was detected speeding on the M1 before slamming into a power pole.

The Courier-Mail reports a young woman was killed and a man critically injured when the Audi A8 was sliced in two after striking the power pole on Klumpp Rd at Upper Mount Gravatt just off the motorway about 3am.

Another woman was seriously injured.

The woman who lives in the house where most of the wreckage ended up says she was told the car was clocked doing 166kmh on the motorway shortly before the crash.

Joyce Maxwell said she was woken by a loud bang and ran out to an horrific scene in the front yard.

"I couldn't believe it,' said Mrs Maxwell, who has lived at the address for 30 years.

"There was a girl trying to climb out of the car and another person at the back. Then we found the other girl in the gutter.'

Daughter Benita said she thought two cars were involved.

"I rang triple-0 and I said: 'There's two cars and bodies all over the ground',' she said.

"It was just horrible.'

The impact of the car knocked out the Maxwells' new wrought-iron fence and shattered statues and a water fountain.

Mrs Maxwell said they were told the car was clocked doing 166kmh on the motorway shortly before the crash.

Ed - This is a friendly reminder to avoid speeding on public roads at all costs. Please consider carefully that the Audi A8 is a German built luxury sedan. NCAP standard frontal collision tests are only done at 64kph (40mph), pole side impact tests done at 29kph (18mph) and car to car side impact at 50km/h. The result of the suggested 166km/h impact has already been realised.
