Asbestos truck crash hits freeway traffic

It happened in Aubin Grove under the Rowley Road bridge, which crosses the freeway.

Main Roads says the truck was carrying material which contains asbestos.

Nine News reporter Scott Cunningham told 6PR radio "it happened just before ten o'clock this morning involving a tow truck and an asbestos removal truck. One of them seems to have flipped onto it side. I understand one of the drivers was rushed to hospital."

Workers wearing hazardous material suits were called to the scene to clear the asbestos.

Southbound traffic is being directed up and over the Rowley Road bridge but Main Roads said there will be delays.
