Traffic chaos after two-truck crash
Traffic is at a standstill in Sydney's southwest after a truck crash on a busy motorway. All northbound lanes on the M7 in Prestons are shut after a two-truck crash just past Kurrajong Rd on Friday morning. Cars have started to pile up along the M7, stretching back to Hoxton Park Reserve. Emergency services and traffic crews were called to the scene about 6.50am and remain on site. Motorists travelling northbound from the Hume Motorway have been encouraged to use the Camden Valley Way and Cowpasture Road instead, LiveTraffic NSW wrote. Those driving westbound on the M5 have been told to exit the motorway at Casula and use the Hume Hwy and Elizabeth Drive. There, they can rejoin the M7 at Cecil Hills. 'Expect delays,' the LiveTraffic website read. 'Use an alternative route.' More to come

Commuters are facing a morning of traffic chaos after a horror crash on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, with one person initially trapped inside their vehicle. Traffic is heavy in both directions on Wednesday morning after the crash, with two of three southbound lanes and one northbound lane all closed on the deck of the bridge near Mandalong Rd. The Mandalong Rd northbound on-ramp has since reopened, LiveTraffic confirmed. One of the two northbound lanes on the M1 remains closed.

A major Sydney motorway was closed in both directions after a crane rolled over on Tuesday morning, sending the roads into chaos and leaving one man in hospital. Both lanes on the M5 Motorway East Tunnel have been closed after a crane rolled on its side about 11.30am on Tuesday. Motorists were told avoid the area as lanes were shut in both directions. The mortorway was closed citybound and westbound directions from General Holmes Dr, while citybound lanes remain closed from Bexley Rd.

The Marsh St westbound on-ramp to the M5 has also been closed, as has the citybound on-ramp to the M5 from Kingsgrove Rd. 'Westbound lanes of the motorway are closed from General Holmes Drive, while citybound lanes remain closed from Bexley Road,' the LiveTraffic NSW update read. A Transport NSW spokesman told NewsWire emergency services and crews were on site. 'Motorists are advised to avoid the area and can consider using the D5 detour instead in both directions,' they said. 'Due to the nature of the incident, there is no forecast as to when all lanes will reopen.' An Ambulance NSW spokesperson told NewsWire a man in his 20s was treated at the scene and transported to St George Hospital in a stable condition.
