A truck fire brought the Pacific Highway at Coolongolook to a halt this morning.
Emergency services were called to the scene at around 7:30, after a B-double caught alight.
It was a delicate operation for Fire and Rescue New South Wales to extinguish the blaze, with the truck carrying a load of flammables.
The driver is believed to be uninjured.
Northbound lanes of the highway have now reopened, however it’s expected to be several hours before southbound lanes are open to traffic.
