The crash caused a traffic build-up, during which two other trucks collided. One was carrying water pumps, while the other was conveying a fully loaded 40-foot container.

The agency also deployed its heavy-duty recovery equipment, including the Super Metro, with support from a private towing truck, to remove the affected vehicles from the road.
All three trucks were recovered and moved to a lay-by before being handed over to police officers for investigation and documentation.
The agency confirmed that no life was lost and no injury was recorded in the multiple-vehicle incident.
It said the road had been cleared of all obstructions and fully reopened to motorists, while its response team and recovery equipment returned safely to base.
