A police investigation is underway into the cause of a multiple vehicle crash on the M1 Pacific Motorway at Ourimbah just before 9am on Tuesday morning, March 14.
The crash was just south of the Ourimbah off-ramp at Dog Trap Rd and caused major traffic delays as all three northbound lanes were closed.
It wasn’t until 10.15am that two lanes were able to be re-opened.
A spokesperson for NSW Ambulance said it was a hectic morning when 13 vehicles collided – buses, trucks and cars – over a 200m stretch of road.
Paramedics treated 15 people and six adults and one child were taken to Gosford Hospital.
Despite the large number of patients, they all suffered only minor injuries including cuts, abrasions and bruising.
