this is pretty bad. Have been following from the beginning. Its is amazing how quick pictures/video gets on the Internet.

4 cars and 3 trucks involved. I think after the crash, something being transported on one of the trucks exploded and set a big fire going.

Said 3 dead on the radio and on The Age website, has this increased to 4 then?

Melbourne is in chaos. Burst Gas main in Malvern too.

Really happy I'm working from home today. I would often be going to the office thru the tunnel at that time.

I'm not out to bash trucks, but have a loot at this footage (http://publish.vx.roo.com/heraldsun/videoplayer?channel=National+News&clipid=1094_96992&bitrate=300&format=wmp)and see how many trucks are on the road.:oo:

There was an unconfirmed report of a truck heading the wrong way into the tunnel.
