Motorists can expect lengthy delays southbound, with the affected section of the freeway likely to be closed for hours.

“It’s going to take some time to go over the crash scene and obviously we don’t know the extent of the injuries to the people involved in the crash,” Inspector Vic Hussey said at the scene.

Bus services were also delayed as a result of the crash.
