This morning, Monday June 22, officers from Lowood Station attended a traffic crash on the Brisbane Valley Highway, Coominya.
The incident involved a truck driver who fell asleep whilst driving. The driver was operating a truck which was loaded with general freight.
The type of truck could of weighed over 40 tonnes and is a dangerous machine to be driving whilst tired.
The fact that no other vehicle was involved and no one was killed or seriously injured is a miracle.
Police would like to take this event as a reminder to all drivers, particularly those that drive trucks to ensure you have plenty of rest before, during and after your drive.
Remember if you have a long trip ahead of you, to plan your stops out.
School holidays start this weekend and no police officer wants to see an incident on the roads that could have been prevented by taking regular breaks.
