M1 Southbound lanes reopen after metal shards cause traffic chaos for Sydney commuters

It has been a chaotic day for drivers making the trip down to Sydney on one of the nation’s busiest motorways. Hundreds of vehicles had their tyres shredded after metal scraps spilled out from a truck on the M1. It brought southbound traffic to a standstill for several hours. A Sydney hauling company has since apologised for the debacle and says it insurance will cover the costs.
