Police Seek the Public’s Help in Train Derailment
Did you see anything?
Darling Downs Police need your help to identify witnesses to an incident which may have resulted in a train derailment near Jondaryan.
Sometime between 3PM and 4PM on Friday July 21 a vehicle has crossed the railway line from the Warrego Highway into McKenzie Road - between Oakey and Jondaryan.
As the vehicle crossed the railway line it appears to have caused damage which resulted in an Aurizon train carrying 41 coal wagons travelling east to derail at about 4PM
It is likely that the vehicle is a heavy vehicle possible towing a low loader, float or step deck trailer, with or without a load on top and the driver may be unaware of what has happened.
Police are seeking assistance from anyone who may have been travelling east or west on the Warrego and observed a vehicle stopped on the crossing.
Anyone with dash cams are requested to view footage if in or around that location during those times.
