Police have revealed two people killed in a Christmas Day car crash in Brisbane's east were mother and daughter.
A 56-year-old Narangba woman died overnight in Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital following the accident in the bayside suburb of Manly West on Monday.
Her 18-year-old daughter, who was also a passenger in the car, died at the scene.
Police confirmed on Tuesday the pair, along with woman's husband and their 23-year-old daughter, were travelling to a family Christmas function when their Mitsubishi Lancer collided head-on with a black BMW sedan.
The 55-year-old and the 23-year-old woman are both expected to make a full recovery.
The driver and sole occupant of the second car, a 46-year-old man from Capalaba, is also expected to make a full recovery.
Police said on Tuesday he had been charged with two counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death and other charges.
It's expected he will face a bedside hearing at Princess Alexandra Hospital on Tuesday.
"This fatality, like any fatality, is a real tragedy on our road networks. It particularly hits home when it's on Christmas Day," Superintendent Dave Johnson told reporters.
"These members were travelling, safely, towards family and friends at Birkdale to celebrate their Christmas together. Two of them never made that, two others remain in hospital, as a result of the actions of another driver on our roads."
Police are appealing for anyone travelling Manly Road at the time of the incident who may have seen either vehicle to contact them.
