Two people are in a stable condition at Lismore Base Hospital after their car was hit by a B-double truck on the Pacific Highway south of Ballina yesterday afternoon.
The car was the last in a line of three vehicles waiting at a stop-go sign ahead of an area of road works at Pimlico.
The impact of the truck created a domino effect, causing three cars to each hit the one in front.
Ballina detectives are investigating the accident, which closed the Pacific Highway for five hours.
No other injuries are believed to have been sustained.
