Diesel tanker rolls into Gold Coast creek

A crane is being brought in to right a diesel tanker that has rolled into a shallow creek on the Gold Coast.

Police say the driver of the truck was shaken but not hurt in the crash, which happened near an old council tip at Pimpama early on Friday morning.

Only a small amount of diesel has leaked into the creek, which is not carrying much water.

Environmental authorities have been alerted about the incident.

A crane is being organised to lift the truck out of the creek, which runs beside the Pimpama Jacobs Well Road.
