Bundaberg Acting Inspector Michael McGarry said it was a passing motorist who noticed debris on the road and found the tragic aftermath of the single vehicle crash last night.
He said at 9pm the motorist saw a vehicle had collided with a tree off Bucca Rd and on further inspection saw the single occupant had sustained what appeared to be fatal injuries.
Acting Inspector McGarry said emergency services were called and the 35-year-old female driver was declared deceased at the scene.
The forensic crash unit attended and are currently investigating the cause of the crash.
âThis is the worst possible news on the last day of the year,â he said.
