"Another four collisions occurred involving a truck and four cars behind two cars and further on behind that, it's just been multiple collisions." 


Tim Hardcastle, a doctor who was driving past, says he stopped to assist the victims of a car that had overturned. 


"There were seven occupants in the vehicle, I assessed all of them and just waited for the first ambulance to arrive on the scene and handed them over. The patients are all stable but complaining about various injuries."
