Two men were taken to Kingaroy Hospital following a truck rollover in Wyalla, between Nanango and Murgon, on Monday morning, August 19.

The men were travelling in a tip truck when it overturned on the Burnett Highway about 6.40am.

A Queensland Ambulance Service spokeswoman said a man in his 40s sustained “minor abrasions,” while a man in his 20s suffered “head and arm” injuries.

“Both were transported in stable condition to Kingaroy Hospital,” the spokeswoman said.

Both lanes of the highway were closed, with police on the scene directing traffic.

“It shouldn’t be too much longer. There will be traffic delays, but not for much longer at this stage,” a Queensland Police Service spokesman said.
