The 17-year-old driver was the sole occupant of a Toyota Landcruiser that rolled near outback Kilcummin, about 300 kilometres inland of Mackay, at 6.15pm Sunday.
The teen, from Richmond, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating.
His death came after four earlier fatalities on Sunday.
Two riders were killed when a motorbike collided with the front of a car in Waterford, near Beenleigh, about 9.15am.
The pair died at the scene and the car's driver was taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
A police spokesman said it appeared the car was coming out of a driveway on Dairy Creek Road, Waterford when the crash occurred.
The second double fatality of the morning happened when a truck and car collided in Kuttabul, about 30km west of Mackay, about 6.30am.
A mother and her young daughter were also seriously injured in a single car collision in Far North Queensland on Sunday evening.
Police say the car crashed into a cement drain when travelling along the Captain Cook Highway, near Yorkeys Knob, about 6.40pm.
The driver, a 35-year-old woman, and her one-year-old girl were transported to Cairns Base Hospital, both in a serious condition.
