A pregnant woman and her mother have lost their lives in a car crash, with both of their husbands rushed to hospital with serious injuries.

Marvic Estrada, 60, and her pregnant daughter Mary Joy Estrada Dela Cruz, 35, were in a Nissan Navara when it collided with a Toyota Land Cruiser at Mount Marlow, in Queensland‘s Whitsundays region, just after 1pm on Sunday.

The two women, along with Ms Dela Cruz’s unborn baby, were killed.

Ms Dela Cruz’s husband, who was driving, was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition, while her father suffered serious injuries.

Ms Estrada and her husband Jerry had been visiting from the Philippines at the time of the crash.
