Senior Constable Hale said the crash was only about 500m from a sawmill, Superior Wood, where the driver had collected a 23-tonne load. For whatever reason which we haven t yet uncovered, he has failed to negotiate the right-hand bend, Sen Constable Hale said. We are looking at things like excessive speed, the load of the vehicle, its mechanical state and whether they played a part. A truck driver was thought to be killed instantly when the semi-trailer he was driving rolled down an embankment on Yabba Creek Rd at Imbil.
