ffs, another spill? Lake Road's always a nightmare. Typical Friday.

Hope everyone's okay. Diesel spills are no joke on those roads.

Was stuck in that for 40 mins. No warning signs till last minute. Cheers AT.

Mason Young2026-06-19T02:14:08.000Z

Bet it was a truck that didn't secure its load properly. Seen it too many times.

As someone who works with diesel daily, that's a major hazard. Hope the crews got it sorted quick.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-19T02:49:08.000Z

stuffed, mate. I drive trucks and most of us are careful. It's the cowboys ruining it for everyone.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-19T02:29:08.000Z

Poor drivers, that's such a stressful situation. Hope no one was hurt.

Tom Harris2026-06-19T02:50:08.000Z

much. Council will say 'we're reviewing' and do nothing.

Tom Harris2026-06-19T02:40:08.000Z

Why is there no protocol for this? Every time we're left guessing.

Mia Carter2026-06-19T03:35:08.000Z

protocols? you think they care? just check the budget cuts lol
