A MAN in his 40s' has been taken to hospital early this morning after his car crashed into a tree on a major highway.
Queensland police spokesman said the man entered a service station in Banana around 11.30pm, and drove 30km south on the Dawson Highway before veering off the road on a right hand bend and crashing into a tree.
He was located shortly after by a passing motorist before paramedics and a rescue helicopter attended the scene.
He was treated for an ankle injury and suspected lung puncture before being airlifted to Rockhampton Hospital in a stable condition.
Police are investigating whether alcohol was a contributing factor.
