A truck driver has been charged after police allegedly found 11 bags of methamphetamine inside his vehicle after it crashed.
The 43-year-old driver crashed the B-double before the heavy vehicle rolled onto its side and slid about 100m into a fence, according to police.
Emergency services were called to the scene about 8pm on Tuesday after the truck toppled just north of Grafton in New South Wales.

The truck was searched by police, who allege they found a glass pipe and 11 bags of meth inside.
A NSW police spokesman told Daily Mail Australia that the driver, from Sydney, had a negative result for alcohol, but tested positive for methamphetamine.
He said police are investigating the drug results.
‘The roadside test will detect the presence of the drug, and then a more precise lab test is carried out which helps to determine the level of impairment a driver may have,’ the police spokesman said.
The man was then arrested and charged with reckless driving or speeding, as well as supplying and possessing an illegal drug.
He was granted conditional bail and will face court on September 3.
