Emergency crews are at the scene of a large fuel spill from a truck at Hexham.
Newcastle Fire Command says they were called to the New England Highway just past the Pacific Highway turnoff at about 3.00am today (Friday 17 July, 2026).
A semi-trailer has lost around 200 litres of diesel from a ruptured fuel tank over a 300 metre stretch of road.
Two of three westbound lanes are closed while the clean-up continues.
