Late yesterday there was a large fire on the Gateway Toll Bridge. It was a car carrier. The truck hit the toll, and than one by one the cars on the carrier blew up, due to the fuel in their tanks.
The last car, on the bottom was a Outback. Bloody driver should of got it off.

Saw that on the news last night got me how you can jack knife a truck on a straight bit of road though.

I was told the one at the toll gates blew a power steering hose, hence loosing all steering capability and hosing the engine bay in fluid which resulted in one big fire ball.
There is one positive of the scorched outback on that truck, ej conversion for some lucky bidder if it ends up at auction.

I went over the Gateway to the airport about an hour before it happened, traffic was bad enough before the accident! 8O

What are you talking about. Traffic is always bad on the gateway.
Specially when you go past Nudgee turnoff and you start heading eastwards and hit the sun. Every f#$king person has to slow down to put the visor down
