Truck suspended on Toowoomba Range embankment closes highway - Courier Mail




A TRUCK is suspended on an embankment after colliding with another truck heading down the Toowoomba Range, west of Brisbane.



Police and paramedics are on site tending to the driver of a B-double after it clipped another truck on the down section of the Toowoomba Range about 6.40pm.


A Queensland Fire and Rescue spokeswoman said the range has been blocked to traffic as there is a large diesel spill across the road.


Police media was unable to confirm if the truck had breached the guard rails of the embankment but said the driver is not believed to have been seriously injured.


A Department of Community Services spokesman confirmed one driver has been taken to Toowoomba Base Hospital as a precaution.


The down section of the Toowoomba Range is expected to remain closed for several hours while the crash is cleared.


More to come ...
