A funeral will be held on January 6 for former Kingaroy Red Ants player Chris Holmes who was killed in a horrific car crash near Bundaberg on December 17.<\/p>\n

Chris, 25, and his brother Leith Wakeham, 22, from Gin Gin; and their friend Simon Prideaux, 33, from Bundaberg, died when their Subaru left the road, rolled several times and slammed into trees.<\/p>\n

A police spokesman said the driver apparently lost control at the intersection of Birthamba Road and Bishop Drive, near Bucca.<\/p>\n

A funeral for Chris and Leith, both former Kingaroy residents, will be held at 11:30am on January 6 at the Bundaberg Crematorium and Memorial Park,\u00a0208 Cummins Road, Bundaberg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
