Rolled car on range
THREE people were lucky to escape unscathed after a vehicle rollover on Thursday, 24 September.
The driver lost control near the bottom of Cunningham’s Gap on Thursday morning, when a back tyre lost grip, sending the vehicle out of control before flipping three times on the side of the road.
One of the passengers was airlifted to Princess Alexandra Hospital with head injuries and whiplash, but was cleared and released later the same day.
