Still very early but in this report

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-10-0...-north/4991974

One witness told ABC Radio it appears the incident happened as the truck drove through a roundabout.


This is from the police media page http://www.police.nsw.gov.au/news/la...ZhbGw9MQ%3D%3D

RIP

Off sick today and just happened to look out my living room window and saw this huge plume of smoke.

We get a lot of bush fires and back burning but the smoke is never BLACK.

Yes, horrible crash and a time for some some sensitivity under the circumstances. Passed through the crash site just prior to it occurring. This spot has seen some dreadful truck accidents over the years with a number of deaths. Don't know what transpired today. Just sad for all involved.

Incidentally, I think I recognise the commodore in the photo. Owned by bloke who has had it for years. It's been stolen, recovered and really loved. Not my cup of tea but for his sake I hope he and his car are all Ok.
