Six Trucks Burn, All Drivers Walk Away | Australia News

Six semi-trailers erupted in flames on the Hume Highway near Goulburn after a brutal chain collision at 5 AM — yet miraculously, all six drivers walked away with only minor injuries. The crash, allegedly caused by a 28-year-old driver who may have been negligent, sent four other trucks into a fiery pile-up. Firefighters battled toxic smoke from burning memory foam — which releases cyanide — requiring hazmat teams from Sydney and the ACT. Cleanup took days, with environmental crews ensuring no runoff contaminated waterways. Authorities are still investigating, awaiting blood and alcohol tests, and urge witnesses or dashcam holders to come forward.
