Update - fatal traffic crash, Jimboomba:  A 64-year-old Jimboomba man has died after the motorcycle he was riding was hit by a car on Cusack Lane, Jimboomba around 4:30 yesterday afternoon.  The driver of the car, a 68-year-old Cedar Grove man, was not injured, and the passenger, a 66-year-old woman also from Cedar Grove, was taken to Logan Hospital suffering from shock and chest pains.  The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating.

Attempted murder arrest, Fortitude Valley: Police have charged a Brighton man, 26, with attempted murder after he allegedly stabbed another man last night. It will be alleged an 18-year-old man was standing on a platform at Fortitude Valley train station about 9pm when he was approached by the 26-year-old. The man allegedly pulled a knife from his pocket and stabbed the teenager in the stomach without warning. The victim remains in the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in a serious but stable condition. The alleged offender is due to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court today.

No one was home at the time and it appears the fire may have started in a vehicle that was parked in the garage. Police are guarding the scene overnight until the cause of the fire can be determined.
