Street Sweeper Stuck in a Bog At Kangaroo Valley

Wednesday, 20 June 2012 11:03

A 21 year old man suffered minor injuries after the street sweeper he was driving in heavy fog through Kangaroo Valley ran off the road this morning.

The truck ran into a ditch and ended up in a boggy paddock on the Moss Vale Road at around 7.45am.

The driver was ejected through the windscreen of the vehicle and was taken to Shoalhaven Hospital by ambulance in a stable condition.

A salvage operation is being organised for tomorrow to get the street sweeper out of the bog using a crane.
