Australian army truck collision leaves 36 injured on storm deployment
At least 36 Australian military personnel were injured when two army trucks helping storm victims collided on Saturday. Some of the Australian Defence Force personnel were seriously hurt when the trucks crashed south-west of Lismore, New South Wales. Police sent specialist rescue units to the scene while the state's ambulance service dispatched teams of paramedics, including two helicopters, officials said. 'A total of 36 patients was the last count I had,' said a spokesman for New South Wales Ambulance, adding that the injured were taken to four hospitals. The spokesman was not authorised to give further details of the injured troops' condition, but Anthony Albanese, the Australian prime minister, said some of the injuries were serious. In a joint statement with Richard Marles, the defence minister, Mr Albanese said: 'Right now our focus is on the welfare of those involved and their families. 'Our ADF heroes were on their way to help Australians in need.' Police are now investigating the cause of the crash. Australian troops have been deployed to help people cope with the impact of ex-tropical cyclone Alfred, which has struck the east coast with rain and powerful winds. The cyclone's remnant is forecast to track west across the Australian mainland in the coming days bringing more heavy rain, Matt Collopy, the manager for the Bureau of Meteorology, said. 'The real threat now is from that locally heavy to intense rainfall, which may lead to flash and riverine flooding,' Mr Collopy said. Cyclones are common in Queensland's tropical north but are rare in the state's temperate and densely populated south-east corner that borders New South Wales. A 61-year-old man who disappeared in a flooded river near the New South Wales town of Dorrigo was confirmed as the first casualty of the storm when his body was recovered on Saturday, police said.
