April 16, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

A\u00a0 driver aged in his 60s has been airlifted to hospital with critical injuries after a garbage truck rolled at Boyneside on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

Emergency crews were called to the crash, on Niagara Road near Bilboa Road, at 10:23am.<\/p>\n

It is believed the man was found unconscious and trapped in the truck by a motorist driving past who then alerted the QAS.<\/p>\n

QFES crews used cutting equipment to free the man.<\/p>\n

The Toowoomba-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter, which landed in a nearby paddock, then airlifted the man to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a stable condition.<\/p>\n

A QAS spokesperson said the driver suffered chest, leg and facial injuries.<\/p>\n

The site is close to the laydown area for the construction of the Wambo wind farm.<\/p>\n
