What Happened?
An oversized trailer was reported to have fallen off an upper flyover along West Coast Highway.
It was left overturned and engulfed in flames, emitting thick smoke.
West Coast Highway Flyover has been closed off as traffic is impassable due to scattered debris and a fallen lamp post obstructing traffic flow.
It is unclear how many casualties were involved in the accident and what caused the trailer to lose control and fall from a height.
