Emergency services responded to a truck roll over on the Hume Highway near Yass in the early hours of Friday morning.

The crash occurred just after midnight on Friday, about 2km east of the Yass Valley Way.

The male truck driver, who was in his 60’s, was treated for minor injuries and has been issued a fine for negligent driving.

The truck was travelling south on the Hume Highway when it left the roadway while travelling up the Mundoonan Range, about 1km north of Sheldrick’s Lane. Both trailers ended on their side, completely blocking southbound lanes of the highway.

Traffic was diverted to the Federal Highway near Goulburn and there were lengthy delays with traffic also hampered by heavy fog. Northbound lanes were not affected.

Officers from The Hume Local Area Command and the Traffic & Highway Patrol Command were in attendance.
