Frustrations for motorists -- as fire crews put out a fire in a rubbish truck on the Southern Motorway near Bombay
6 November 2020
All southbound lanes are impacted and there is a significant backlog of traffic.
Emergency services are working to clear one lane as quickly as possible.
A motorist who's heading south, Lesley Deverall, says they have just managed to get past the truck, after moving at a snail pace in traffic.
She says they could see flames shooting out of the top of the trailer on the Envirowaste truck, which is stuck on the Helenslee road off ramp at Pokeno.
She says she can see police, fire trucks and a small water tanker.
