ACT Fire & Rescue crews are this morning on the scene of truck accident in Canberra’s north.

Multiple appliances responded to the incident involving a B-Double semi trailer on the Federal Highway.

The heavy transport vehicle has jack knifed approaching the Majura Road off ramp.

The incident has led to a large fuel spill from the semi.

One lane heading towards the city is currently blocked.

I reckon the driver has probably ignored the 60km/h and “caution, traffic obstacle” signs, seen the barriers that are in place there too late, and swerved to avoid them, causing the truck to jackknife.
