Story summary

Emergency services responded to Springvale Road in Tinana South, south of Maryborough, around 5:30 pm on Thursday following a report that a blue Subaru Tribeca had driven into the water. A 36-year-old woman from the area and an 10-year-old girl, identified as Arliyah James and her stepmother Lisa, were found dead inside the submerged vehicle despite rescue attempts by a local farmer and her father. The car reportedly left the road before entering the dam and hit a fence prior to sinking. Police are investigating the circumstances leading up to the incident and have urged anyone with information or footage to contact them. Arliyah's mother, Sarah Gorman, paid tribute to her daughter as "beautiful blue-eyed, blonde-haired princess" whose life was filled with love and laughter.
