A 64-year-old truck driver narrowly avoided a collision with the first obstruction on January 27th, reporting he only noticed the trailer at the last moment and was forced to brake sharply. He then moved his vehicle slightly to warn other drivers. Police are appealing to the public for information and can be reached at (0421) 362 38 88.
The deliberate obstruction of a major motorway with large vehicles has prompted a criminal investigation. Police are treating the January 27th incident as attempted homicide due to the extreme danger posed to other motorists.
