The dramatic crash caused lanes on the Western Ring Road to be closed, bringing traffic to a crawl ahead of peak hour.
A crane will go to the scene after peak hour to remove the truck, which is loaded with scrap metal.
Meanwhile, a five-car pileup caused further traffic chaos after the vehicle collided at the on-ramp to the Ring Road from the Tulla Freeway, 3AW Breakfast reports.
