Highway closed, outside McKinlay

The Landsborough Highway remains closed near Plum Creek this morning following a truck roll over yesterday.

The road train carrying zinc rolled about 20 kilometres from McKinlay.

Trailers and lead ore are blocking the highway and efforts to remove them as well as ensuring the integrity of the road is continuing.

It is hoped that one lane may be open to traffic by around 12.30pm.

The driver was airlifted from the scene for believed non-life-threatening injuries.
