Overview
- Separate crashes struck the Mitchell Freeway and Stirling Highway, leaving vehicles stopped and lanes partly blocked.
- Crews removed vegetation and cleared the lane-blocking crashes so traffic has largely returned to normal in affected spots.
- A southbound crash on the Mitchell Freeway left motorists stranded on the emergency lane and slowed traffic through the area.
- Traffic signals blacked out at several major Morley intersections, including Walter Road East and Beechboro Road, and drivers were told to treat them as give-way.
- Authorities urged motorists to slow on approach, monitor local traffic updates, and exercise extra caution where signals remain out because the Mitchell Freeway is a high-volume corridor that can see bigger knock-on delays.
