Chris O'Keefe
Two B-double trucks were almost entirely obliterated in an horrific crash on the Hume Highway at Ingleburn this morning.
Around 9.40am, an Aldi delivery truck crossed the median strip and collided head on with another truck travelling city-bound.
The collision sent debris and household goods across the road and into another truck and a car.

The cabin of the delivery truck was partially ripped from the chassis of the vehicle.
Police said the driver of the southbound truck was ejected from the cabin of his vehicle and died at the scene.
The crash caused major delays, with the Hume Highway reduced to a standstill.
