A truck fire closed the Pacific Highway north of Grafton earlier this morning, blocking traffic in both directions.
The accident, at Swan Creek, near McPhee Street, happened at about 6.30am and the truck was believed to still be burning more than an hour later.
Emergency services worked hard to clear the area as quickly as possible and the highway has since reopened.
At this point it is not known whether anyone was injured in the accident.
