A driver was badly burned on the legs in a car fire and explosion on the M1 motorway southbound just past Wyong Rd on Sunday, February 18.
Another occupant in the car was not injured, and the driver was taken to Royal North Shore Hospital for burns treatment.
Southbound traffic came to a standstill, with two of the three lanes closed and one northbound lane closed, while the fire was extinguished and Ambulance paramedics assessed and treated the driver and passenger.
