B-double rollover causes highway traffic delays

ONE lane of the Cunningham Hwy was blocked at Maryvale from 6am Saturday until mid-afternoon after a B-double rolled over.

The truck was carrying general freight, including small motors and bags of grain.

A Warwick police spokesman said it was believed the rear trailer started to wobble which resulted in the whole vehicle turning over on one lane of the highway.

"There were no injuries," the officer said.

"The load didn't spill onto the highway."

While one lane was open most of the day, there were periods of up to one hour during the day when both lanes were closed as the vehicle was being recovered.

Police said there was extensive damage to the prime mover.

There was also a single vehicle rollover at Pyramid's Rd, Stanthorpe, at 12.45pm Saturday.

No one was injured.
