The South-Eastern freeway has been closed to all traffic near Monarto following a serious crash between two trucks overnight.
Just on 2.30am on Saturday 6 April, two trucks travelling west on the freeway collided, with one hitting the rear of the other.
Shortly after the collision one of the trucks caught fire, which spread to nearby grass and scrub, requiring the attendance of several CFS crews to extinguish the fire and stop it from flaring up.
