Serious traffic crash, Miriam Vale

Investigators are appealing for witnesses following a serious traffic crash at Gindoran near Miriam Vale earlier this week.
Around 11.15pm on Wednesday, a Ford Ranger utility towing a caravan was heading north on the Bruce Highway when it encountered heavy fog.
The driver slowed, however part of the vehicle or trailer remained in the north bound lane of the Bruce Highway.
A prime mover towing two semi-trailers travelling in the same direction had a minor collision with the ute and caravan, stopping briefly.
As the driver started to accelerate, a second prime mover towing two semi-trailers also encountered the fog and struck the rear of the truck.
A third prime mover towing two semi-trailers, also travelling north, hit the rear of the second truck causing them both to catch fire.
As a result, two truck drivers, a 42-year-old man and 54-year-old man, remain in hospital receiving treatment to a number of injuries.
