There are delays for northbound traffic on the Pacific Highway at Twelve Mile Creek due to a truck fire.
A semi-trailer caught alight near The Buckets Way just after 4.15 this morning (Monday 29 October).
It's understood the fire started in the braking system - the driver tried to put out the flames with an extinguisher but was unsuccessful.
A Fire & Rescue crew from Raymond Terrace and two RFS units from Medowie were called to the scene.
The fire was extinguished at 20 past 4 but it's understood the empty trailer of the truck has been badly damaged.
Salvage crews are on the way.
One Northbound lane is closed to traffic..
