UPDATE: NO hospitalisations have occurred after a freak three-car pile up just east of the Myrtle Creek Bridge.
Sergeant Mark Flynn of the Proserpine Police was at the scene and said an empty car had rolled down a driveway onto Shute Harbour Road.
“A vehicle heading east bound has collided with it and then in turn collided with a vehicle heading west bound,” he said.
Sgt Flynn said the vehicle travelling west was able to drive off and wasn’t damaged severely.
The unaccompanied vehicle came to rest on its side and was removed from the road by an excavator sourced from a nearby property.
