Five pedestrians were injured after being hit by the truck, with three of them in a serious condition 

Emergency services, including 12 ambulance crews, an ambulance helicopter and three Fire and Rescue New South Wales crews were called to the scene, where they were faced with difficult conditions surrounded by fallen power lines.  

The truck driver, who was trapped in his vehicle for almost one hour after the crash, is in a serious condition.

Three pedestrians have serious injuries and a further two have minor injuries. 

Witness Natalie Natalie described the accident scene as a 'huge disaster'. 

'I walked past a couple of people that were lying on the ground and they had medics around them attending to them,' Natalie told Radio 2GB.  

Police Superintendent Andrew Holland said the driver, who was taken to hospital with chest pains, may have suffered a medical episode.

'He believes he may have undertaken a medical episode but that is yet to be confirmed,' Supt. Holland said. 

The crash has shut down Botany Road in both directions between Bourke Street and Epsom Road, causing chaos for drivers heading into the city on the morning commute. 

Multiple crews of police, paramedics and firefighters were called to the horrific scene

Southbound traffic is being diverted into O'Riordan Street and northbound traffic into Collins Street, a tweet from Live Traffic New South Wales said. 

Drivers are being told to avoid the area, with the road expected to be closed for several hours. 

Buses which normally travel through the area are experiencing delays of more than one hour, with the 370 route skipping 11 stops and other services being diverted.   

More to come.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
