Watching the news this morning, nobody's gonna be able to get to work... big oil tanker overturned and caught on fire (can't remember the name of the major road - think it started with a W but don't quote me).

One person is dead and the houses around the area have been evacuated.

Take care there guys...

Yeah, they blocked off a section of the freeway. It'll be all over the news tonight. There's also a story on Yahoo about it. Click here for news story.

10 mins away from me. :(

Oh well I don't think I have to do anything over there today, so I'll remember to steer clear of the area.

Apparently, outbound from Willie Rd is blocked. Would be a bastard this arvo going home if the coppers are still there investigating.
