A St John Ambulance spokesman said the truck rolled on farmland between Raes Junction and Beaumont about 9am.

A police spokeswoman said it was not yet known whether the vehicle was a stock truck, a fertiliser truck, a fuel tanker or a milk tanker.

It was also not yet clear whether any other vehicles were involved in the incident.

Investigations are continuing.

Worksafe was likely to investigate, she said.
