Police are appealing for any information or vision as investigations continue into a serious traffic crash at Gumlu last night, 5 November.

Initial investigations indicate around 1.45am, a white 2004 Holden Rodeo was travelling southbound on the Bruce Highway near Spring Creek Bridge before the vehicle struck the hand guard rail, left the road and rolled.

The 27-year-old male driver and sole occupant of the vehicle sustained life-threatening injuries and was airlifted to Townsville University Hospital.

Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the crash are ongoing and anyone with relevant information or vision is urged to contact police.

The Queensland Police Service is committed to reducing the number of lives lost on our roads.

As part of Operation Interpose, police are bolstering high-visibility patrols right across the state, engaging with road users and enforcing the laws to deter dangerous driving behaviours.

Queenslanders can expect police – anywhere, anytime. However, enforcement alone cannot stop all dangerous driving behaviours.

Driving under the influence, speeding, driving distracted or while fatigued, or not wearing a seatbelt puts your life – and the lives of others – at serious risk. These dangerous behaviours will not be tolerated.

Road safety starts with you.
