A truck fire on the Pacific Highway caused delays for motorists, near Port Macquarie this afternoon.
The vehicle was travelling north at about 1:30 when the blaze erupted.
“What I believe is that the brakes on the b-trailer, on the prime mover caught alight and started burning the products, the freight inside the trailer.” said Bruce Blackburn from the Rural Fire Service.
Northbound lanes of the highway were closed for about an hour, while four fire crews attended the scene.
The driver escaped unharmed, while the truck and its cargo of alcohol sustained minor damage.
