An 86-year-old Yungaburra man has sadly passed away after being involved in a serious traffic crash in Lake Eacham in Tablelands last night.

Preliminary investigations indicate around 6:30pm a white sedan was travelling along Gordonvale Atherton Road in a westerly direction towards Yungaburra.

The sedan has then crossed onto the other side of the road hitting an oncoming truck.
