A CRASH at the intersection of Ranson Road and Pacey St has added to a morning of drama and chaos for Gympie emergency services today.

Ranson Rd was completely blocked after a Nicks cement truck, which was attempting to turn off Pacey St, ploughed into the front of a white Toyota sedan at approximately 8:30am.

The collision could have had far worse outcomes for the two motorists involved, but both were unhurt and standing alongside each other as they waited for Police to arrive.

Sources say the driver of the cement truck received an infringement notice from Police for failing to give way to the sedan.

The driver of the sedan said he expected his car would be written off due to severe damages at its front end.

The Ranson Rd crash followed an earlier, more serious incident on nearby Chapple St, when a car rolled and burst into flames near the Tucker St intersection at around 7:20am.

Ambulance officers assessed the sole occupant of the vehicle, who escaped from the vehicle with minor lacerations.
