A man in his 60s has died and another man is critically injured after a truck plunged into a creek from a Logan road.
The truck veered off a road in Mundoolun and into the body of water.
While two of the men managed to escape the truck, the other man did not survive.
Paramedics tried to revive the man but, due to his injuries, he could not be saved.
Police divers are currently surveying the creek to ensure every person is accounted for.
Police have not confirmed how many people were in the truck when it crashed.
Fire and emergency services will arrive on later today to remove the truck from the water.
New research has found one in five young Australians has experienced food insecurity in the past two years.
The Monash University study, from the Centre for Youth Policy and Education Practice, found the food crisis was more likely to affect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people, and young people with a disability.
Food insecurity means when people lack social, economic and physical access to food that meets their dietary needs and preferences, preventing them from leading a healthy and active life.
"Access to food is a human right," said the report's lead author, Dr Cathy Waite.
"This is not good enough. Governments and policy-makers should be prepared to assist young people in times of immense uncertainty and disruption."
The Australian Energy Market Operator chief executive officer Daniel Westerman said the crisis which led to a warning of power cuts in parts of Australia is easing.
"We've certainly seen that easing in recent weeks and we'll continue to work on it every day," Westerman said.
He has launched the operator's 2022 Integrated System Plan.
It outlines a 30-year roadmap of investments for the National Electricity Market, with the emphasis on a move to renewable energy.
