Summary
Six trucks erupted in flames on the Hume Highway after a collision sparked a massive fire fueled by hazardous cargo — butane, resin, memory foam, and alcohol. Six drivers miraculously escaped with minor injuries, while firefighters battled explosions and toxic smoke suspected to contain formaldehyde. Drones monitored air quality as crews decontaminated gear, and the highway shut down in both directions, forcing detours through Canberra. A terrifying, near-disaster that highlights the stakes of road safety and emergency response.
