A 77-year-old woman driver was trapped in her wrecked car by her feet after a two-car crash on the D’Aguilar Highway near Kingaroy about 1:30pm today.
The woman, the sole occupant of the vehicle, had to be freed from the red Holden Barina by emergency services personnel before being taken to Kingaroy Hospital by ambulance.
Nanango Police Officer-in-Charge Sergeant Jason Newton said the woman had injuries to her lower legs and arm but it appeared they were non life-threatening.
There were two occupants in the second vehicle, a silver Ford Falcon. A woman from this vehicle was taken to hospital with neck and back pain while the male occupant appeared to be unhurt.
An eyewitness to the crash, who was manning a fruit stand on the side of the highway, told southburnett.com.au the Falcon had stopped to turn right into Bellbird Road when the incident occurred.
The Barina hit the stationery Falcon from the rear, pushing it across the highway.
Both vehicles suffered severe damage.
