- Emergency crews responded promptly, treating a man in his 20s at the scene before transporting him to St George Hospital in stable condition.
- Live Traffic NSW confirmed citybound and westbound lanes remain closed with detours via Bexley Road and King Georges Road on the D5 route, while one westbound lane partially reopened by 1:30pm.
- Officials recommend that drivers steer clear of the vicinity and anticipate significant delays due to the complicated process of crane removal and cleanup, with no definite estimate on when the road will fully reopen.
