Default Saw a terrible thing today - should be on the news

I was driving back from Emerald down to Gladstone.

About 10 mins south of Rockhampton i could see something in the distance but couldnt make it out. It was like a big white cloud of smoke.

As i got closer i saw a truck carrying big flour bails had jacknifed and was skidding down the road.

I was second on the scene to help the trucky out.

He was very disorientated and took alot of coaxing and help getting out of his truck which was on its side.

Driver had cuts and was in shock as you would expect. He will be fine though.

Not nice at all.

Almost what i saw 2day.

Near hammond ave near ford at the round about a truck went around it and gave it a bit to much, jacknifed and skid bad, he was extremly lucky that is hit a pole and turned itself back around.
If that pole wasent there it would have gone through ford and taken out a far bit of cars.
