A brief will be prepared for the Coroner after a man and two children died in a two-car collision in the state’s north this morning.

About 8.10am (Tuesday 4 June 2013), police and other emergency services responded to reports of a collision between two sedans on McDonalds Bridge Road, Dyraaba, about 15km north-west of Casino.

On arrival, police found three people – a man and two children – deceased. They had all been travelling in the same vehicle. A man and two children from the second vehicle were taken to hospital.

Police will prepare a report for the Coroner after the body of a man was located in the state’s north.

About 1.30pm yesterday (Saturday 1 June 2013), police were called to bushland on Durack Circuit, Casino, where they located the body.

The man’s death is not considered suspicious.

While a formal identification is yet to take place, the body is believed to be that of a man reported missing from his Casino home last week.

Officers from Richmond Local Area Command have been conducting extensive searches for the 22-year-old since he was reported missing on Wednesday 22 May 2013.
