A ‘B” Double semi trailer crashed on a new section of the gateway motorway near Eagle farm.
The accident was reported around 5:40am and police closed all but one lane of the south bound lanes until investigations could be completed into the cause of the incident, the driver who died was the sole occupant of the vehicle.
A fire broke out in a unit at Zillmere on Brisbane’s northside around 815am.
Many occupants of the complex where forced outside as 3 pumps brought the blaze under control.
A male occupant of the unit was taken to hospital , investigations continue into the cause.
I don’t get to many MVA’s so I thought I would have a look at this, sounded interesting and since there was no major injuries off I went.
Just before 1130am on the 22nd June 2009 a truck jack knifed in the wet on the Gateway motorway , the truck crashed into the guardrail and continued to smash through approximately 150 mtrs until it crashed over the edge of the bridge, the truck was carrying 2 empty shipping containers, below the edge of the area where the truck crash was another motorway, so it was lucky that it stopped.
With pooring rain and traffic still going through the scene I only had time for a few shots, Ill share just one as it speaks for itself.
Commercial structure fire overnight, flame and smoke where visible by responding crews, investigations continue into the cause.
