ALS Paramedics spokesperson Garrith Jamieson says the driver of the other truck lost control and veered off the road, smashing into the parked vehicle.
"At this stage, one person has been declared deceased by paramedics and another has sustained critical injuries.
"Advanced life support paramedics are working to stabilise the man on scene before he will be transported to a nearby hospital for the urgent care that he requires."
