Truck crashes into Tour Down Under finish line
WWOS staff
Tour Down Under officials were left scrambling after a truck loaded with hay crashed into the finishing line of the race in the Adelaide Hills.
Onlookers were stunned when the truck drove through the inflatable barrier and dragged it along the road before coming to a stop.
Lucky for organisers the inflatable sign wasn’t damaged.

Police weren’t required to deal with the crash.
The crash didn’t have an impact on the 100 or so women competing in the opening stage of the race.
The men’s event will be held next week.
