A family with young children has escaped a caravan attached to a car being stolen in outback Queensland. The man, woman and their three children aged between six and 12 were inside the caravan at Allen Terry Caravan Park in Hughenden, in the state’s west, about 9pm on Monday when “they heard their car start and the caravan began to move”, police said.
Young family’s terrifying outback ordeal. It’s believed the family took the opportunity to escape when the thief slowed or stopped while driving the car out of the caravan park. Witnesses have described hearing yelling and banging noises. The incident left tyre tracks on the ground, apparently due to the caravan wheels being stabilised when it was being stolen. The family, who are believed to be travellers, was shaken up and had an array of cuts and bruises, according to witnesses.
