Fatal truck crash on Forrest Highway

A man has died in one of two truck crashes north of Bunbury overnight.

The man was driving south along Forrest Highway in Myalup when the truck left the road and hit a tree, near Gross Road at about 11.30pm last night.

The driver, who is believed to be in his 40s, was killed instantly.

In a separate incident, a man has escaped uninjured after the truck he was driving caught fire and tipped over on Forestry Road, near the highway at about 12.45am.

Fire crews extinguished the blaze but emergency services remain at the scene and are diverting northbound traffic through Harvey.

Old Coast Road near the intersection of Forestry Road is also closed.

Motorists are being asked to avoid the area.
