Semi Trailer Flips and Causes Peak Hour Mayhem

A semi trailer has flipped whilst turning into Moore St just before midgnight last night. Although the truck was removed by peak hour, it took out a power poles which has closed the street and caused peak hour chaos. Power was still not restored to the surrounding block by 10.20am

We are unaware if the driver suffered any injuries, but thankfully no body else was reported injured.. if  pedestrians had been there at the time, it could have been a horrible story. This accident highlights that Moore St was never designed for the amounts of trucks that run down it, and with 2,500 trucks going down there each day, it is only a matter of time for something worse happens.
