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.<\/p>\n

A fourth vehicle, an Isuzu D-Max, veered off the road to avoid the wreck and the driver was not hurt.<\/p>\n

7NEWS.com.au understands the Mazda 2 was an 18th birthday present gifted to one of the boys last year.<\/p>\n

A relative of Petrass said the group were on their way home after going out to get dinner when they were tragically killed.<\/p>\n

It is understood Cunnington and Doumergue had previously dated in high school and had recently reconnected after she returned to Australia from a year abroad.<\/p>\n

Tributes have begun to pour in online for the teenagers, who graduated from Mackay North State High School in recent years.<\/p>\n

\u201cR.I.P to me (sic) little brother T-jay and his best mate Liam,\u201d Petrass\u2019s older brother Jason Goodfellow said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo doubt still having a good time together up top.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of Doumergue\u2019s friends said the tragedy was \u201cnot fair\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou were taken too early,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honestly so lost for words. I always looked up to you as an older brother.<\/p>\n

\u201cRest in peace my bro.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doumergue\u2019s employer, Keen2Kill Pest Control, said he was known for his kindness, gentleness, good humour, and hard work.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis absence leaves a hole in our hearts that cannot be filled,\u201d they wrote online.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur entire team is heartbroken. Liam wasn\u2019t just a colleague, he was a valued part of our work family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Locals say there was heavy fog blanketing the 100km\/h stretch of road at the time of the crash.<\/p>\n

Police are investigating whether the fog contributed to the accident.<\/p>\n
