Summary
A major crash on the EastLink Freeway near Monash has turned into a nightmare for commuters—debris spans all eight lanes, emergency crews are battling to free a trapped driver, and one man in his 60s is hospitalized. A severely wrecked Mazda 3 and a possible truck in the median have caused gridlock stretching back to Dandenong Bypass northbound and Burwood Highway southbound. Authorities urge drivers to reroute via Ferntree Gully Road or Princes Freeway as cleanup could take hours. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
