Emergency services were called to the scene on Irrigation Way near the Cudgel sandhills just before 3.30pm after reports of an accident involving a truck and a motor vehicle.

Police believe the truck jack-knifed, losing a load of grain in the process, with the motor vehicle being caught up in the accident.

A 37-year-old man in that vehicle had to be removed by emergency services and was taken to Griffith Base Hospital for treatment for minor injuries.

The truck driver was uninjured.
