Another crash at troublesome intersection

The intersection of Toowoomba Karara Road and Clifton Pittsworth Road at Felton South saw yet another crash on Monday afternoon, which involved two vehicles.

Sergeant Bruce Willett of Clifton Police said the incident involved a Winnebago travelling east on Clifton Pittsworth Road and a Mazda BT-50 utility driving north on Toowoomba Karara Road.

Sergeant Willett said from the initial investigation it appears the Winnebago, driven by a 79-years-old Allora woman, failed to adequately stop which led to it colliding with the ute.

Both vehicles came to a stop on the roadside, the Winnebago on its side and the ute upright.

The Allora woman, suffering cuts and abrasions, was taken to hospital via ambulance.

The driver of the ute, a 19-years-old Lockyer Valley man, sustained an arm injury and his sole passenger, a 20-years-old Lockyer Valley man, had cuts and abrasions.

Sergeant Willett said he is frustrated that despite ample signage and other road safety features implemented at the intersection, accidents keep on occurring.

“It’s ridiculous we continue to come here,” he said.

He said police would like to warn people about the dangers of not following road rules.
