Firefighters from rural and city fire crews were called to the scene to extinguish a grassfire caused by the crash.
Fire crews said the blaze had spread across about 150 acres of sugar fields and bushland by 11am.
Hot and windy conditions have also made it difficult for fire crews to contain the blaze, which has produced flame heights in excess of five and six metres.
