A major traffic incident on the M1 motorway has left hundreds of vehicles stranded with flat tyres after a truck spill scattered debris across multiple lanes early Friday morning – with traffic backed up to the Mooney Mooney bridge.

2GB’s Ben Fordham revealed the delays on Friday morning – impacting motorists on the Central Coast. 

‘I just saw eight cars pulled over with flat tyres -and within a minute or two, that number had doubled,’ Robert told Fordham.

‘By the time I passed the next hill, there were at least 40 cars pulled up trying to change tyres.’ 

Transport for NSW and emergency services are now on scene cleaning up the debris from the road. 

Debris is said to have scattered across every lane for over 25 kilometres — stretching from near Ourimbah to Mount White. 

Drivers are advised to steer clear of the area or brace for major delays.
