Police are investigating the circumstances of a two-vehicle traffic crash north of Gympie on Saturday, June 29, after one of the drivers involved was left with multiple broken bones.
A Queensland Police Service spokesperson said on Tuesday initial investigations indicated that just before 5.30pm that day, a white Hyundai Santa Fe and a grey Land Rover Range Rover were travelling along Rammutt Road, between Country View Drive and Tipping Road at Chatsworth, when they crashed.
The driver of the Hyundai, a 48-year-old Gympie man, said he was left with three broken ribs and a broken left arm and was freed from the wreckage of his car by a nearby home owner. He is hoping more information will surface about the other car and its occupants.
No one else was physically injured, police said.
