The community is mourning the loss of one of its own this week with the tragic news that Proserpine local, 47-year-old Gavin Hussey, passed away following a traffic accident on Shute Harbour Road on Tuesday morning at 7am.
The incident took place when Mr Hussey’s Mitsubishi Lancer collided with a concrete truck travelling in the opposite direction.
Emergency services were called to the incident on Shute Harbour Road and Tyree Road at 7.17am on Tuesday morning.
Mr Hussey died at the scene while the truck driver was transported to Proserpine Hospital as a precaution.
Police appeal to anyone who may have witnessed the crash or has relevant dashcam vision to come forward.
Mr Hussey’s partner, Sammy Kissier, took to social media to express her absolute devastation.
“7.17am changed his life and mine forever in a split second,” she said.
“This time will haunt me forever.
“Why does this hurt so much? I just want to scream! My first last true love, thank you for loving me and my children”
Following these posts Ms Kissier was inundated with support from friends and family.
“My heart is broken for you Sammy, sending all my love to you and the family,” said one post.
“Along with everyone else my heart is breaking for you, the love you and Gav had was apparent, it was so special,” read another.
On Wednesday, Ms Kissier asked for privacy so that she could spend time with her family.
