A man has been killed and several people have been hospitalised, after a harvester struck powerlines at a pineapple farm in central Queensland on Wednesday.
Emergency services were called to the Bungundarra property, 20km north-west of Yeppoon, shortly after 9am, following reports seven workers at Lake Mary Pines were electrocuted.
A 25-year-old Yeppoon man was taken to the Capricorn coast hospital in Yeppoon in a critical condition, however, he tragically died soon after.
Two men in their thirties and one woman in her twenties were also taken to the Yeppoon hospital in a stable condition.
A man in his fifties and two other men in their thirties were taken to the Rockhampton hospital, also in a stable condition.
Capricorn health services have told the ABC two people have since been discharged.
Investigations into the farm incident are ongoing and a report will be prepared for the coroner.
Lake Mary Pines is a second generation pineapple farm, producing more than 2.1 million pineapples for the Australian market per year.
The 162 hectare property is owned by the Stevens family.
