Trailer rolls on Toowoomba Bypass sparking grass fire

Eastbound traffic on the Toowoomba Bypass was slowed after the rear trailer of a B-double rolled, crushing a barrier and starting a small fire.

Emergency Services responded to a trailer rollover on the Warrego Highway at Postmans Ridge.

A heavy haulage tow truck was called in to right a trailer that had rolled on the Toowoomba Bypass, slowing traffic and sparking a small grass fire.

Emergency services were called to the scene near the intersection of Murphy’s Creek Road and the Warrego Highway shortly after 11am on Sunday.

The rear trailer of a B-double rolled on the eastbound lane of the Toowoomba Bypass about 11am on Sunday, causing a small grass fire and slowing traffic on the Warrego Highway.

They arrived to find the truck driver was uninjured but the rear trailer of his B-double had rolled onto its side, crushing a barrier.

The vehicle came to rest in the emergency lane which allowed eastbound traffic to flow, albeit slowly.

No one was injured, and the grass fire was easily contained.
