Miracle escape for six drivers in fiery multi-truck crash

Six truck drivers miraculously escaped a devastating multi-vehicle crash in Goulburn, New South Wales, with only minor injuries. The early morning incident saw multiple trucks engulfed in flames, scattering butane gas cans across the roadway.

Authorities initially feared one driver was missing, but later confirmed all six had managed to exit their vehicles. The crash occurred just after 5 a.m. near Gunning, when two trucks reportedly collided while attempting to enter a roadside rest stop. One truck shunted into others parked at the location, triggering the catastrophic chain reaction.

The situation was exacerbated by the cargo of the trucks. One vehicle was carrying eight tonnes of butane cans, which resulted in multiple small explosions upon the arrival of fire crews. Other trucks were loaded with alcohol, resin, and memory foam, further fueling the intense blaze. All six trucks were completely destroyed.

Insp. Mijok of NSW Police described the drivers' survival as "nothing short of a miracle." Fire and Rescue NSW deployed seven trucks, including two hazardous materials vehicles and approximately 40 firefighters, to combat the blaze and manage the dangerous scene. Two drivers were taken to Goulburn Hospital for mandatory testing.
