Carnage on Tonkin Highway on mad Monday

Driving home from work this morning, north bound on Tonkin, from Redcliffe Bridge to Collier Road (in the south bound lane) looked like a major wrecking yard with accidents in 3 different spots within 1 kilometre.

Anybody get caught up in any of this this morning? When I was driving through traffic was banked back all the way to Morley Drive. That would be a good 3 kilometre stretch.

It was a truck that lost its load that then caused the TA's - see this link.

Listening to Captain Paul's traffic reports on 94.5 this morning, he said that traffic was banked back as far as Benara Road / Reid Highway intersections.

I wonder if that's why my boss isn't in the office yet, I think he goes through there on his way into work...
