Woman injured in crash at Preston
A police investigation was launched following a crash on Preston Boundary Road at Preston just before 9 o’clock last Friday morning.
Emergency services received a call at 8.55am and police, fire and ambulance crews were despatched to the scene.
An SUV had rolled off the road and the 24-years-old female driver was trapped inside.
It was feared that a second vehicle believed to have been involved in
the smash may have left
the road and crashed down the steep roadside embankment into thick undergrowth.
Authorities called in a drone and personnel from the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services in Toowoomba and members of the Cambooya Rural Fire Brigade to help search the area, however no second vehicle was located.
After the injured woman was removed from the crashed vehicle, Queensland Ambulance Service paramedics treated her at the site of the incident before transporting her to Toowoomba Hospital.
She was in a stable condition.
As investigations into the crash continued, police put out a call for public assistance to help locate a white van which was believed to have been involved in what they describe as “a high speed crash”.
Information provided to police suggested that the two vehicles were travelling in opposite directions along Preston Boundary Road when they collided.
Police say the white van left the scene without stopping.
They have urged any witnesses who saw the white van or anyone with dashcam footage from Preston Boundary Road between 8.45am and 9am last Friday to contact them and quote this reference number: QP2300241170.
