Truck rollover, reminder to motorists to rest up before driving
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.

Remember if you have a long trip ahead of you, to plan your stops out.
