The whole truck flew over the edge, crashing down, kind of gracefully, actually, Mr Lewis said. The Bruce Highway at Bakers Creek bridge was closed for several hours after a truck crashed through a guardrail and overturned in Bakers Creek. I jumped out of the car and called emergency services. The 27-year-old jumped over the guardrail himself and went straight for the truck, joined by another man Thomas, a backpacker who had been travelling behind the truck. I thought there s no way someone could have survived that, Mr Lewis said. The rising tide in Bakers Creek where Fraser Lewis and other bystanders rescued a man fro a truck that veered off the Bruce Highway about 5.20am Sunday.
Janessa Ekert Journalist I didn’t always want to be a journalist. In fact, when I was younger my dream was to be an archaeologist – who wouldn’t want to be like Indiana Jones? However, now that I am a journalist, I couldn’t imagine doing anything else with my life.
I love listening to people’s stories and sharing them with others.
I’m a Queenslander through and though. Mackay is the furthest south I have ever lived. I’m an only child and I was raised in Airlie Beach.
My parents are former boaties; we lived on a 42 foot.
