Updated
Motorists have left a smashed bus on a factory ground after a massive crash involving more than a dozen freight vehicles near Sydney, a driver says.
Traffic has backed up for hours in parts of Melbourne and some parts of south-east Queensland after a small car flipped over in a small truck.
A police spokesman says four people were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after the semi truck crashed near a railyard at The Ballarat Expressway.
Police say one passenger in the minibus suffered minor injuries but they have not released details about them.
The collision occurred about 4:30pm this morning about a quarter of a kilometre south of Melbourne city centre.

Police on the scene said it appeared at least 18 cars, three vans and at least one truck were involved in the crash.
Three people in the van were taken to hospital with minor injuries, police said.

Some of them were believed to be eyewitnesses to the crash as the bus was movi바카라사이트ng south of Melbourne city centre.
“A bus that had just flipped over has rolled off into the path of the train, a few hundred metres, and was in the process of coming to a stop,” Chief Constable Palmer said.
“They were also aware that two vans from a nearby construction site had also been hit by the collision.”
Mr Palmer said it appeared the collision happened along the route where the accident happened and caused little damage to the vehicle, adding it seemed the driver was not in a state to drive.
“We are getting a lot of reports and people do say there is a delay up there,” he said.
The crash happened on the track between the V&J’s plant and a rail yard.
