Police investigating a serious traffic crash on the Bruce Highway at Banya on Saturday afternoon are continuing to appeal for any witnesses or anyone with relevant vision to come forward.
Early enquiries indicate that at around 1.15pm a southbound Hino flatbed truck collided with the rear end of a southbound Volvo semi-trailer.
The driver and passenger of the Hino were trapped in the vehicle as a result of the crash and had to be extricated by emergency services.
The driver of the Hino, a 57-year-old Creastmead man, was flown to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital with head and limb injuries. He is in a stable condition.
The passenger, a 50-year-old Jimboomba woman, sustained a minor injury to her foot and was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital for treatment.
The driver and sole occupant of the Volvo, a 27-year-old Goodna man, was not physically injured.
The southbound lanes of the highway were closed for approximately two and a half hours while the Forensic Crash Unit examined the scene.
Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the crash are ongoing, and anyone who may have relevant dashcam vision is urged to contact police.
