UPDATED 11.15AM: A truck has rolled on a private property in Pyes Pa this morning, seriously injuring the driver.
A police spokesperson says they were called to the property on Pyes Pa Road at around 10.50am.
She says the driver is reportedly in a moderate to serious condition.
'Ambulance staff are on the scene. They suspect the driver may have a broken leg or legs.”
As the incident is still ongoing, no further information is available at present.
A reporter at the scene says the driver of the ground spreading fertiliser truck is believed to have suffered multiple leg and back injuries.
'The truck has come off of a farm track and rolled several times before it came to a stop near the bottom of the gully.
'It's a council-owned farm and no-one was present at the time, the accident was only discovered because the truck's GPS had stopped moving and someone called the driver to find out why.”
