Off-road enthusiasts are on high alert following the discovery of dangerous steel “spike traps” on a popular dirt track in the Sunshine Coast region. These traps pose a serious threat to drivers and riders, potentially leading to severe injuries or even fatalities.
The traps, composed of three welded steel bars each, were strategically scattered along a dirt trail in Glass House Mountains. Troy Lovell, a passionate four-wheel drive enthusiast who stumbled upon them, expressed shock at the apparent intention to inflict maximum damage on vehicles. He narrowly avoided the spikes after his own four-wheel drive bottomed out, preventing a potentially catastrophic outcome.
