M7 motorway delays in Sydney as truck bursts into flames
A truck on fire has shut down one of Sydney 's busiest motorways. The M7 remains closed southbound at Cecil Hills in the city's south-west, more than three hours after the fiery scenes unfolded just after 5am. Footage from a passing motorist showed firefighters battling the massive inferno as thick smoke billowed into the sky. The truck driver managed to escape the vehicle unharmed. It's understood the truck was carrying a load of carpets. The gutted remains of the truck remain at the scene. Diversions remain in place via Elizabeth Drive and Cowpasture Road. Motorists should consider using The Horsley Drive and Cowpasture Road, or Elizabeth Drive and Cowpasture Road to rejoin the M7 at Hinchinbrook. Allow extra travel time as traffic is heavy in both directions. Traffic delays extend past Hoxton Park Road.
