Two pedestrians in critical conditions after horrific weekend on Queensland roads continues
Two pedestrians are fighting for life after being struck by cars in separate incidents in Queensland's southeast. Emergency services were called to the Logan Motorway at Kingston following reports a man had been by a car before 1pm on Monday. Paramedics treated the man, aged in his 20s, for life-threatening head injuries. He was taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a critical condition. Traffic was diverted via the Kingston Rd off ramp while the man was tended to, Queensland Traffic said. Drivers were also warned to use alternative routes or expect lengthy delays. The horrific Kingston crash came just two hours after a woman, believed to be aged in her 50s, was struck by a car on Emma St in Deebing Heights, Ipswich, at 11.19am. She was taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a potentially life-threatening condition with head, chest and pelvic injuries. Police said no charges had been laid and investigations were continuing. The Monday tragedies continue a horror week on Queensland roads. Three teenagers killed in a horror-head on crash in Queensland were best mates who recently graduated from high school. On Friday night, best friends T-Jay Petrass, Liam Doumergue, and Ellie Cunnington, all 19, died when their Mazda 2 crashed into a Great Wall Cannon while they were trying to overtake a semi-trailer on Mackay Ring Rd at Glenella, a suburb of Mackay, about 10.40pm. All three teenagers were declared dead at the scene. The 28-year-old male driver of the Great Wall Cannon, was rushed to Mackay Base Hospital in a serious condition, while the 68-year-old male driver of the semi-trailer escaped injury. A fourth vehicle, an Isuzu D-Max, veered off the road to avoid the wreck and the driver was not hurt. And on Wednesday, a 14-year-old school boy was fatally struck by a car in Brisbane, 1km from Wynnum State School. The boy was crossing at the roundabout intersection of Tingal Rd and Colina St, Wynnum, when he was hit by a learner driver just after 8:20am. He was treated for critical injuries by paramedics, but died at the crash site. As of July 20, the total number of road fatalities in Queensland sits at 158 — six of those just on Saturday and Sunday. Stream free on

South Africa's top 20 best-sellers of mid-year 2025 revealed
Although largely dominated by imports, the 10 best-selling models were split evenly between imported vehicles and those locally assembled. Having so far failed to record a downturn since October last year, South Africa's new vehicles ended the first six months of 2025 on a total of 232 474 vehicles sold compared to the 287 167 sold 12 months ago. Positive outlook While down, despite having breached 40 000 units every month, the lowest being 42 401 in April, the industry still seems on track to overtake the projected 500 000 mark this year in what will be the third consecutive year since the global pandemic. 'The domestic outlook for 2025 is expected to improve, driven by a revival in business and consumer sentiment stemming from improvements in the country's key economic indicators,' the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (Naamsa) said in its projection report for 2025 at the end of last year. ALSO READ: New vehicle sales finish first half of 2025 on a noteworthy high 'The South African Reserve Bank stated that risks to the country's growth outlook are assessed to be balanced, but that growth could be higher from 2025 onwards, given ongoing reforms, especially in the network sectors, such as electricity and transport. 'With an improved GDP growth rate of around 1.5% projected for 2025, the new vehicle market would likely improve by single digits compared to the level of 2024,' the statement concluded. With half the year gone, The Citizen now takes a look at the top 20 best-selling vehicles between January and June thus far, as well as the 10 performing brands.
