Chaos on Sydney M5 Motorway shut after crane crashes on its side
A major Sydney motorway was closed in both directions after a crane rolled over on Tuesday morning, sending the roads into chaos and leaving one man in hospital. Both lanes on the M5 Motorway East Tunnel have been closed after a crane rolled on its side about 11.30am on Tuesday. Motorists were told avoid the area as lanes were shut in both directions. The mortorway was closed citybound and westbound directions from General Holmes Dr, while citybound lanes remain closed from Bexley Rd. 'Citybound motorists are being diverted onto King Georges Rd off-ramp to use D5 detour,' a Live Traffic NSW post read. The Marsh St westbound on-ramp to the M5 has also been closed, as has the citybound on-ramp to the M5 from Kingsgrove Rd. 'Westbound lanes of the motorway are closed from General Holmes Drive, while citybound lanes remain closed from Bexley Road,' the LiveTraffic NSW update read. A Transport NSW spokesman told NewsWire emergency services and crews were on site. 'Motorists are advised to avoid the area and can consider using the D5 detour instead in both directions,' they said. 'Due to the nature of the incident, there is no forecast as to when all lanes will reopen.' An Ambulance NSW spokesperson told NewsWire a man in his 20s was treated at the scene and transported to St George Hospital in a stable condition.
