POLICE NEWS & AGMS

The recent rain has been a welcome change for everyone however it has also brought about an increase in road traffic crashes in the Imbil and Kenilworth divisions. A number of these traffic crashes have resulted in quite serious injuries, which can have a lifelong effect on the injured person and their families. Several of these crashes were near fatal and required the urgent assistance of the rescue helicopter. All road users are reminded to drive to the conditions and take extra care when there are adverse weather conditions.

By now, most of you who live in the Mary Valley would have observed the change of speed limit along the Mary Valley Road between Kandanga Imbil Road and the Mary Valley Link Road. This decrease in speed from 100km/h to 80km/h was identified by Department Traffic and Main Roads to improve the safety of road users and the safety of those exiting from concealed driveways along this route. Local Police and Highway Patrol will be regularly monitoring this stretch of road so please pay attention to the new speed zones to avoid unnecessary traffic infringements.

If you have any information in relation to these offences, please contact Imbil Police or contact Crimestoppers.

Imbil and Kenilworth Police would like to extend their thanks to the general community for their ongoing support. We all play a role in the safety of our community and the assistance provided to us is greatly appreciated.
