Police have charged a truck driver after his vehicle slammed into a family car, killing a three-year-old girl.
A truck driver has been hit with a drug charge following a fatal collision that claimed the life of a three-year-old girl.
The 56-year-old male driver was driving a Mitsubishi Fuso truck along Banya Avenue on the Sunshine Coast when his vehicle rear ended a silver Nissan Qashqai about 11.40am on January 14.
His truck continued on before slamming into the rear of a blue Haval station wagon, which was stopped in traffic. Two other vehicles in front of the Haval were also struck.

Queensland Police say an investigation into the crash is ongoing, with officers from the forensic crash unit involved.
A GoFundMe page created to support the King family has amassed almost $26,000 as of Saturday.
“Ineza was a joyful little girl, full of energy and full of life — a child who felt every emotion deeply and honestly,” the page reads.
“We will always remember Ineza — Inni — not only for the heartbreak of her passing, but for the light she brought into the lives of her parents, her sister, her family, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
“Her life, though far too short, was full — full of love, laughter, movement, music, wonder, and warmth.”
