5 Car Pile-Up Closes Tourle Street Mayfield West

BY IAN CROUCH

Tourle Street, Mayfield West has been re-opened to traffic after a 5 car pile up.

Police say four cars were stopped at roadworks at about 10.45pm on Thursday night when a truck crashed heavily into the last car stopped in the line-up.

This created a concertina affect, with the cars in front colliding nose-to-tail.

The rear car was badly damaged, however the driver escaped with only minor injuries and was taken to hospital for observation.

It's expected the truck driver will be charged over the incident.

Tourle Street was closed for almost three hours as a result of the crash.
