A DULULU man who cut his throat after hitting a barbwire fence on his property on Sunday has been released from Rockhampton Hospital.

Alex Wilson, 55, rode through the fence while riding his motorbike around 9am at his property on Westwood-Wowan Road.

The RACQ Capricorn Helicopter Rescue Service was called to Mr Wilson's property.

An emergency services spokesperson said he was in a serious but stable condition when he was flown to Rockhampton Hospital.

Mr Wilson's neighbours Sara and Dennis Martin visited him on Monday and said he was feeling all right despite the ordeal.

Sara said most of Mr Wilson's family was overseas, except for a son in Rockhampton, who the Central Telegraph was unable to contact.

An ambulance from Wowan was sent to the property but was not required for transport.

Mr Wilson was released from hospital yesterday.

One man suffered a shoulder injury in a single-vehicle accident near Cracow in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Three men from Hervey Bay and the Sunshine Coast were in the vehicle when it left the Theodore-Eidsvold road around 1.30am.

The men were picked up by a supervisor and taken to the Cracow Gold Mine, where they were treated by mine first-aid officers before ambulance officers arrived around 2.30am.

At the same time, police and the fire brigade from Theodore attended the accident scene.

The car was 2 km north of Cracow down an embankment about 8-10 metres among thick scrub and bush land.

One man, 21, suffered an injury to his left shoulder, was taken to Theodore Hospital, along with a second man, 31, who was taken as a precaution. Both were released later in the day.

The third man, 33, refused a trip to hospital.

The fire brigade made the scene safe by disconnecting the battery and ensuring there were no other immediate hazards.

Investigations into the cause of the accident are continuing.

A New South Wales man had a lucky escape when his car overturned on the Kokoyungo-Don River Road, near Baralaba, on Monday.

Acting Senior Constable Adam Humphrys said the single-vehicle accident occurred about 10am.

The driver of the vehicle, a 30-year-old man, was the sole occupant.

Police, ambulance and the Wowan Fire Brigade attended, with the driver treated at the scene by paramedics for minor cuts to his right elbow.

The fire brigade covered the car in foam as a precaution.

Acting Senior Constable Adam Humphrys said the vehicle was towed from the scene.

“At this stage the cause is unknown,” he said, and investigations were continuing.

In a busy time for emergency services, paramedics attended a property at Rawbelle, near Monto, around 10am on Friday after a man fell from a horse.

The patient, who is in his 50's, had a serious chest injury and was transported by helicopter to Bundaberg Base Hospital, and was later discharged.
