Tragic Bus Rollover in North Queensland: One Fatality, Multiple Injuries
A FlixBus carrying tourists from Cairns to Airlie Beach rolled over on the Bruce Highway near Gumlu, resulting in one death and at least twenty injuries. The driver, a 70-year-old man from Mackay, is assisting police in their investigation. Emergency services airlifted two severely injured passengers to Townsville University Hospital, while others were treated at local hospitals. Premier David Crisafulli described the incident as an incredible tragedy, and Superintendent Dean Cavanagh praised the quick response of emergency services. Locals who stopped to help were also commended for their actions. By Friday morning, eight patients were stable, one was at Ayr, and three had been discharged. The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating the cause of the accident, and the highway has reopened after the wreckage was cleared.
