Kev Morgan from the Queensland Ambulance Service said he was relieved there were few people around to witness the wreckage.

"It was quite confronting, there weren't many bystanders there which, when you looked at the scene, was probably quite good that not many people were out and about to see that incident," Mr Morgan said.

"Sadly, when these events happen on special days like Mother's Day or holidays, the impact is significantly high."
