The 19-year-old male driver and one passenger, a 45-year-old man, were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

The second passenger of the Toyota, a 29-year-old man, was later transported to Townsville Hospital, after sustaining critical injuries in the accident.

All three men are from Sarina.
