Police have revealed 17 vehicles were involved in multiple collisions that caused traffic headaches on the Tuggeranong Parkway on Thursday morning (19 May).
Officers are now seeking witnesses to the incidents on the parkway near the Cotter Road overpass.
At about 6:45 that morning, police said a wheel came loose from a car and landed in the northbound lanes. Multiple vehicles swerved to avoid it, resulting in a nine-vehicle collision at the end of the Cotter Road on-ramp heading north.
Further collisions occurred near the fixed speed cameras in the north and southbound lanes, causing extensive traffic delays.
“Thankfully, no injuries occurred,” police said.
The Major Collision Team wants to speak with drivers who saw the first collision. Police are also seeking witnesses and dash-cam footage from anyone driving in the area of the collisions between 6 am and 8 am on Thursday, 19 May.
If you have footage of any of the incidents, police have asked you save it and contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, quoting reference 7113252.
