The 16-year-old boy died at the scene of the crash northwest of Emerald on Friday evening.
Police will allege the boy at the wheel lost control of the four-wheel drive on a dirt section of Wills Rd about 6pm.
The vehicle appeared to have rolled several times and crashed, they said.
The driver and two other passengers, also 14, were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
A short time later a man believed to be in his 20s died in northwest Queensland in a head-on collision with a truck.
Initial investigations suggest the truck was heading south on the Landsborough Highway south of Cloncurry when it collided with the car about 7.45pm on Friday.
The car driver died at the scene, about 50km north of Kynuna.
His female passenger and the male truck driver were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
