Summary
Truck explodes southbound on Hume Highway near Yass—driver escapes unharmed, likely due to mechanical failure. This marks the 10th fiery truck wreck in just over two months on this 150km stretch. Fire spread too fast for the driver to control, and the rig carried compressed recycled cardboard. Authorities confirm no foul play. Traffic diverted via Yass Valley Way and Barton Highway as cleanup and removal begin. Recent history includes a deadly crash and a major pile-up—this stretch is proving dangerously volatile.
