One thing that gets me though, is if your trying to see the traffic congestion on Main Roads, why do they switch the cameras to Offline, or put a weird image thats not even the location...

although not from a scanner, just heard on the radio that 4 people are injured, one in serious condition.
accidental occurred, car rolled through the railing in the centre of the freeway, people got out of their cars to help, train went by, hit the railing which was on the track and that then hit the people trying to help the occupants of the cars involved in the TA.

Thankyou very much for that update - it all makes perfect sense on how it happened.
Cheers and welcome onboard

Yer had just been upto Joondalup and was listening in the car. Sounds like a total nightmare
poor VKI trying to deal with everything, really surprised they didn't put it on ch 26 or something. Well over a dozen cars involved.

It's because they dont want people looking at the gory aftermaths of accidents.

Yes - BUT - i am not after the gory bits, the cameras don't focus that close to it anyways - was only interested to see how bad the traffic was...

Guys the details from Seven News last night - was amazing that no one was killed...They showed a simulation as to how they think it happened, and good on those 5 people who tried to help but were injured in the process....I hope they catch the guy who rammed into the vehicle which flipped on its roof
