Queensland Police are investigating a fatal traffic crash near the Catfish Creek Bridge on the Dawson Highway in Wooderson overnight which killed a 70-year-old Wooderson woman.
Initial investigations indicate that just after 5.30pm, a station wagon travelling west along the Dawson Highway, veered onto the opposite side of the road and hit a prime mover towing B-double fuel tankers about 5.30pm on Wednesday.
“The driver of the wagon, a 70-year-old Wooderson woman, died from her injuries at the scene,” Police said in a statement.
“An uninjured dog that was located inside the vehicle was taken to a nearby veterinary clinic.
“The driver of the Prime Mover, towing b-double fuel tankers, was the sole occupant of the truck and was not injured,” Police said.
The crash closed the highway in both directions for some time. It has since been reopened.
