Tributes are pouring in for prized Gold Coast photographer, Dale Sharpe, who's died in a traffic accident while holidaying in the US.
The 36-year-old was on a trip of a lifetime, joining storm chasers in Kansas to capture some breathtaking images, he'd been posting about it regularly on his social media page, DK Photography.
His family took to the page to share the tragic news. "Dale was driving on Highway 2 north east of Harper where he struck a deer," the post said. "Dale’s vehicle was disabled on the road and he sought safety calling for assistance.
"The vehicle started to billow smoke from the engine bay and Dale sought refuge on the side of the road. "A passing motorist avoided colliding with the stranded vehicle at the last moment by leaving the road.
