UPDATED Noon:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Burnett Highway is now open after last night’s fatal collision between two trucks.<\/p>\n

Police said the highway re-opened about 10:30am after the wreckage of the two trucks was cleared away.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the night:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Police are currently at the scene of a fatal cattle truck crash at Booubyjan.<\/p>\n

Initial investigations suggest about 8:30pm on Tuesday a B-Double carrying cattle and another truck, carrying a caravan, collided at the intersection of the Burnett Highway and Murgon-Gayndah Road.<\/p>\n

One driver was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

The other driver, a 55-year-old male, was transported to Toowoomba Hospital by RACQ CareFlight helicopter with head and chest injuries.<\/p>\n

The Burnett Highway is currently closed and is expected to remain so overnight. Diversions will be put in place.<\/p>\n

Cattle injured in the collision are being euthanased on site.<\/p>\n

Five fire crews, including a rescue unit from Maryborough, were called to the incident. SES units are also assisting with traffic control.<\/p>\n

The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating.<\/p>\n
