Bruce Highway Caravan Crash - Kiel Mountain Overpass, Nambour

A serious 4WD and caravan crash on the Bruce Highway near the Kiel Mountain Overpass brought southbound traffic to a standstill, with diversions put in place through Nambour while the scene was cleared. Clayton’s Towing responded promptly to manage the caravan recovery and clear the highway.

Incidents like this on the Bruce Highway are more common than many travellers realise, a caravan that becomes unstable at speed can roll or jackknife, taking the towing vehicle with it. When it happens, a fast, professional response is critical to restoring traffic flow and safely recovering the vehicles involved.

Clayton’s Nambour depot is positioned right in the heart of the Sunshine Coast hinterland, making us one of the fastest responders to incidents on the Bruce Highway between Brisbane and Gympie. Our team carries the specialist equipment needed to recover rolled or crashed caravans and the 4WDs that tow them, including slide-and-tilt trays, airbags, and recovery rigging for awkward off-road or roadside positions.

Whether it’s a caravan roll-over, a jackknife incident, or a collision requiring multiple vehicle recovery, our crews are trained to work safely alongside emergency services to clear the scene as efficiently as possible.

The Bruce Highway is one of Queensland’s busiest freight and holiday corridors. During peak travel periods, school holidays, long weekends, and the winter caravan season, the volume of towed caravans on the road increases significantly, and so does the risk of caravan-related incidents.

Whether you’re heading north or south through the Sunshine Coast region and find yourself in trouble, Clayton’s has you covered. Our 24/7 dispatch team can coordinate rapid response from our Nambour, Noosa, Maroochydore, Caboolture, or Gympie depots depending on your location.
