Police have provided an update after a Central Queensland woman was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries following a tractor crash east of Rockhampton.
Paramedics were called to a private property at Coowonga, near Keppel Sands Rd, at 10.44am on Saturday.
A Queensland Ambulance Service spokesman said a woman in her 60s was taken to Rockhampton Hospital with life-threatening injuries to her chest and arm.
On Sunday, a Queensland Police Service spokesman said police investigations indicated the incident was “not suspicious.”
It comes after a 59-year-old Dixalea man died in a lawnmower rollover south of Rockhampton on February 9.
Initial investigations indicate the man was mowing the area between the fence line of a Lanigans Lane property and the Burnett Highway about 8.15am that day when the ride-on mower rolled.
