A truck carrying explosive chemicals has rolled in central Queensland, less than two months after a similar crash that was described as the most "powerful explosion" in Australian transport history.The latest accident occurred on October 31 st when the vehicle rolled on the Carnavon Highway, 40km west of Rolleston, closing the highway for hours while the emergency crews recovered the trailer which was carrying volatile ammonium nitrate. The truck's driver escaped serious injury, unlike the incident on 5th September on the Mitchell Highway near Charleville, southwest Queensland, where eight people were injured, including four firefighters and a police officer, after the truck, carrying 50 tonnes of ammonium nitrate, had driven off a bridge and subsequently exploded.
