Family Survive Prossie Car Crash

A Mackay couple and their three children were left trapped in their vehicle when it was involved in collision north of Proserpine just days after Christmas.

The family had been travelling south from Townsville when a Toyota Prado allegedly crossed into their lane, crashing into the family’s Holden Ute on Tuesday, December 27, just after 1pm.

Queensland Fire Service were able to extricate those trapped and the RACQ CQ Helicopter attended the scene, despatching injured patients to hospital.

A total of seven people were taken to Proserpine Hospital, but it is understood everyone involved have now been released.
