UPDATE: MOTORISTS have been urged to avoid Brisbane's Gateway Bridge after a cattle truck overturned, blocking the road with dead and dazed livestock.
The truck overturned and caught fire about 7pm in the southbound lanes near Eagle Farm.
Several head of cattle were killed, crushed when the truck overturned.
Distressed and injured animals ran over the Gateway Bridge, bringing traffic in both directions to a standstill.
The escaped cattle were rounded up near the toll booths.
The B-double truck rolled about 7pm, on a bend of road near where a fatal rollover of a truck full of fruit and vegetables occured earlier this month.
The truck driver in this incident was able to escape without serious injury.
A second truck to remove the escaped cattle was still being organised.
Brisbane City Council workers will clear the dead animals from the road.
The southbound lanes of the motorway leading on to the Gateway Bridge have been closed for several hours. Fire crews also have to clean up diesel that spilled from the truck.
Northbound traffic was closed at Murrarie, with diversions in place at Wynnum and Lytton roads.
An RSPCA spokeswoman said about 50 head of cattle escaped from the truck and had to be rounded up.
"They have had to euthanise four of the cows already and looking at euthanising several more because of their injuries," the spokeswoman said."
This road just happens to lead to Brisbanes airport, and yaakov was on it, nad then the unco truck flipped, so then yaakov had to go back to the Jaffes. Pretty unco, no?
