Military truck rolls on Queensland motorway, two hospitalized
Two men were taken to hospital in stable condition after an army truck rolled on Centenary Motorway at Springfield Lakes on Sunday.
A military-style truck rolled off a southbound lane of the Centenary Motorway near Springfield Lakes just before 10:30am on Sunday. A man in his 30s and a man in his 40s suffered minor injuries.
They were taken to Mater Private Hospital in stable condition. Police could not confirm whether the truck was an official Australian Defence Force vehicle.
Emergency services worked at the crash site. Motorists faced delays as lanes were reduced.
The incident comes just one week after an official ADF Army troop carrier rolled at Mount Bundey Training Area in the Northern Territory. That crash killed soldier Brendan Hannam, 28, and injured five others.
