STORM CHAOS: Crash, power lines down, grassfire

UPDATE 5.45pm: WARWICK firecrews have been spread thin after three separate incidents in the space of half an hour this afternoon.

Crews were responding to reports of downed power lines on the Warwick-Allora Rd when they came across a single vehicle accident on Rosehill Rd, near Oehlmanns Rd, just out of Warwick.

On arrival, the woman in her late teens inside the vehicle was complaining of chest pain, possibly related to seatbelt injuries.

As firecrews arrived they report the woman passed out inside the vehicle and they performed CPR on the patient before paramedics arrived and transported her in stable condition to Warwick Hospital.

The road was closed at the scene for some time while the car was towed.

A second crew was then dispatched to deal with the fallen power lines and a third crew was then needed to scramble to reports of a grassfire also on the Warwick-Allora Rd, which was caused by fallen power lines.

Ergon are on scene dealing with the downed lines. Their website shows over 2000 customers in Allora are without power and 40 in Warwick.


EARLIER: WARWICK firecrews are racing to a report of power lines down just north of Warwick.

Early reports indicate the power lines have fallen on the Warwick-Allora Rd just past Lyndhurst Lane.

Motorists are advised to avoid the area entirely due to threat posed by lines across the road.

Ergon has been notified and are attending the scene also.

Ergon Power Outage Finder reports 2023 customers in Allora and 40 customers in Warwick are without power due to the downed lines.

En route to the downed lines, Warwick crews came across a single vehicle accident at the corner of Rosehill and Oehlmann Rds.

Paramedics have been called to the scene.
