An elderly man suffered serious burns in a single vehicle crash near Mt Binga on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n

A police spokesman said initial investigations suggest the man was travelling north along Middleton Road – which runs off Pierces Creek Road – about 6:45pm when his car left the road, crashed into a tree and burst into flames.<\/p>\n

The 85-year-old male driver was the sole occupant.<\/p>\n

A passerby pulled the man from the wreck.<\/p>\n

A QAS spokesman said Army personnel on the scene assisted the man until emergency services – including police, ambulance and fire brigade – arrived.<\/p>\n

An RACQ LifeFlight helicopter was called to the incident and airlifted the man in a serious condition to Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital.<\/p>\n

The Forensic Crash Unit will investigate the cause of the crash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
