Truck crashes into business

Last Friday morning, a truck veered off-road into Warwick’s Enchanted Garden on Alexandra Drive.

As a result, the road was reduced to one lane of traffic for several hours.

According to Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS), the driver was transported to Warwick Hospital in a stable condition with minor injuries.

Enchanted Garden owner Claire Cunningham said she was first alerted to the incident after hearing the crash.

“We won’t be operatable until something’s done to fix it.”
