One injured in fiery Hay Point Rd crash
ONE person is recovering in Mackay Base Hospital after a fiery crash at Alligator Creek last night.
About 10.15pm, emergency services were called to Hay Point Road where a car had rolled and burst into flames.
A Queensland Fire and Emergency Services spokesman said when fire crews arrived, the vehicle was upside down in a ditch and was engulfed in flames.
"Crews contained the fire pretty quickly, it took about six minutes," the spokesman said.
Queensland Ambulance crews treated a male person suffering leg injuries at the scene before transporting him to Mackay Base Hospital in a stable condition.
The scene was left in the hands of Queensland Police about 11.30pm.
