TRUCK ROLLOVER SPARKS MAJOR TRAFFIC CHAOS ON MELBOURNE’S PRINCES FREEWAY

A damaged expansion joint on a major Melbourne road is being blamed for traffic chaos on the city’s western outskirts this morning.

Reports indicate that a metal plate covering the expansion joint became dislodged overnight,

Earlier in the day, commuters faced delays of over two hours on the freeway and nearby roads in Werribee and Wyndham Vale.

That crash subsequently led to a pile-up involving up to 10 vehicles, forcing the closure of several lanes near Duncans Road.
