The 42-year-old male driver and a 15-year-old boy from the same ute were taken to Rockhampton Base Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, with the 42-year-old experiencing shoulder pain.

The driver and passenger in the other ute suffered minor injuries.

A Queensland Ambulance spokesperson confirmed a man in his 20s suffered back pain and was taken to Gladstone Hospital, while a teenager suffered a minor head injury and was taken to the same hospital.

Another man was uninjured in the crash and didn’t require transport to hospital.

It’s unclear which person was driving the truck.
