One person has died and six others have been injured after two pieces of machinery collided underground in a central Queensland mine.
Two rescue helicopters were dispatched to Anglo American’s Moranbah north mine, southwest of Mackay, after authorities were called to the site just before 4pm on Wednesday. Police and paramedics were unable to save a grader driver who has since been confirmed dead. Four patients have been flown to hospital with suspected spinal injuries. They are reportedly also being treated for head, neck and facial damage.
