A witness named Gerald said the truck, which was carrying cement blocks, clipped the mirror of his courier vehicle before mowing down five other cars and three trucks.
"I heard a bang and then I just looked ahead and there were cars and trucks just flying up in the air," he told 2GB Radio.
"He (the truck driver) was flying and he just ploughed straight into the traffic ahead of me, it was just unbelievable."
He said it was lucky nobody was seriously injured in the crash.
"I think it's more shock than anything," he said.
"It's just like a war zone here."
