In May 2022, a station hand was trapped between the vehicle he’d been driving and an access gate, according to WorkSafe Qld.
Early investigations found the worker was checking water bores when he arrived at an access gate.
It appears he put the work-supplied four-wheel drive into low range before exiting the ute to open the gate.
Tragically, the four-wheel drive vehicle has crept forward, fatally pinning him against the access gate.
