Yesterday afternoon, a tragic incident occurred on the Bruce Highway involving a truck and a car. The collision resulted in five people, including a baby and a young girl, being rushed to the hospital for urgent medical care.
The accident took place at Aldershot, near Maryborough, around 5:40 pm. The Suzuki Swift, heading northbound, collided with a truck going the opposite direction. The impact was so severe that the truck caught fire, prompting emergency services to quickly respond to the scene.
All four individuals inside the Suzuki were immediately taken to the hospital. Among them was a 28-year-old man who suffered life-threatening head injuries. Sadly, the young girl also sustained serious injuries to her head, limbs, and chest, and had to be taken to Hervey Bay Hospital for treatment. The driver, a 25-year-old woman, was also transported to the hospital in a stable condition. Additionally, an infant boy also suffered head injuries but was deemed stable by a Queensland Ambulance spokesperson.
Fortunately, the driver of the truck, a man in his 40s, only sustained minor injuries. The highway was briefly closed in both directions to allow for emergency response, but it has since been reopened for traffic.
Currently, forensic crash investigators are diligently working to determine the cause of the collision. It is a heartbreaking and unfortunate incident that has left a devastating impact on all those involved. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families during this difficult time.
