Emergency services, including the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services, paramedics and Queensland Police, eventually freed the man from his truck after the crash just after 1pm on the D’Aguilar Highway near Lord Lane at Moodlu.
He is now in a critical condition and has been transported to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital.
