Oakey Police Senior Constable Paul Holgate said a member of the public alerted emergency services to a car which had crashed on the Warrego Highway near Aubigny Road. He said the vehicle was empty when police, ambulance and an Oakey Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) crew attended at 10.25pm. The QFES team remained on site for 15 minutes to make the scene safe and to ensure Ergon Energy was aware of the damage to the light poles. Senior Constable Holgate said preliminary inquiries indicated the Nissan X-Trail was travelling west on the Warrego Highway when it crossed onto the other side of the road. “The driver narrowly missed hitting one light pole, collected a second and dragged it for about 20 metres before coming to rest at the base of a third pole,”
Emergency services located the empty vehicle on the northern side of the Warrego Highway near Aubigny Road. he said. Police located the driver of the vehicle at a Bowenville address. The 53-years-old Bowenville man is reported to have received a lift from the scene
shortly after the crash. The man was transported to the Toowoomba Hospital with minor injuries. Senior Constable Holgate said investigations continue into the crash.
He said it was lucky for both the man and fellow motorists that no one was seriously injured or killed. He urged drivers to take due care and attention at all times.
Local man critical after fight
A 51-years-old Oakey man sustained critical injuries to his head and face following a physical altercation with another man at an Oakey residence on Saturday evening. Toowoomba detectives allege that a 51-years-old Dalby man was visiting an associate in Oakey when the pair became involved in a physical altercation. As a result, the Oakey
man sustained critical injuries. He was transported to the Toowoomba hospital for treatment and was later airlifted to the Gold Coast University Hospital.
The Dalby man was charged with causing grievous bodily harm and was refused bail. He appeared at the Toowoomba Magistrates Court on Monday and was
remanded in custody. He will next appear in court on October 12. Anyone with more information on the incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
