The Pacific Highway south of Ballina was closed for almost three hours this morning after a b-double rolled on its side.
Police say the truck hit another semi-trailer, which then hit a sedan at about 9.15.
Heavy traffic, believed to be a factor.
“he was in a row of vehicles and for whatever reason hasn’t seen the vehicle up ahead start to slow and and he’s collided with the rear of that vehicle”
The truck’s fuel tank ruptured on impact, causing a 200-metre diesel spill.
The driver and passenger were taken to Lismore Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
