Truck catches fire on F3

Posted October 9, 2008 12:50:00

There has heavy traffic on the F3 freeway north of Sydney after a truck caught on fire just before 11:00am AEDT today.

The accident blocked all northbound lanes at Mount White, but traffic is now moving slowly after a lane was reopened.

It is not yet known what caused the blaze.

Kate Martin was driving on the freeway when the accident happened.

"It was on fire, really badly on fire, black smoke just streaming out of the truck," she said.

"It took a while for the police to arrive. It was burning for about 10 minutes before any services arrived."
