A 52-year-old Cannonvale man has died following a fatal traffic crash in Andromache, Whitsunday, on November 29.
Preliminary investigations suggest that a cane truck was travelling along Gunyarra Road around 1pm when it left the road and rolled over. The driver, the truck's sole occupant, was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
The identity of the deceased man, a resident of Cannonvale, has not been released. An investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing.
The Forensic Crash Unit is continuing to investigate the circumstances of the crash.
This marks the second cane truck crash in the area this month, following a fatal collision on October 28, when two Proserpine men were killed after two cane trucks collided on a private property near the Gibson Creek Bridge at Bloomsbury.
The Proserpine Cane Growers Facebook page shared a heartfelt tribute to the cane truck driver:
“On behalf of Proserpine growers our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the deceased. This is another tragic incident for the community.”
