Flinders Hwy truck roll over

Debris and fuel were scattered across the Flinders Highway when a truck towing a trailer rolled near Pentland, forcing emergency services to block the road on Friday morning.

A Queensland Police spokesman said police, ambos and fireys responded to the crash, which was reported at 8.32am on the Flinders Highway, about 16km west of Pentland, near Warrigal Creek.

He said the driver was able to get free of the vehicle.

Debris and diesel was spilt onto the highway, leading to a total road closure, before it was scaled back to a single lane operating, with the westbound lane blocked.

A Queensland Ambulance spokeswoman said the driver suffered minor injuries, including back pain, before being transported to Charters Towers Hospital in a stable condition.

Police handed the responsibility for traffic control at the crash scene over to Charters Towers Regional Council.

The council has been approached for an update.
