A triple truck collision on the Hume Freeway left a smearing of cookie dough near Glenrowan in the early hours of Thursday morning.
A Victoria Police spokesperson said it was believed a B-double truck travelling south on the freeway collided with the rear of a second B-double, which then collided with a third truck around 4:40am.
One of the trucks was left heavily damaged at the scene as the Environment Protection Authority also reported fuel was left smeared across the road with the cookie dough.
A 63-year-old Queensland man was taken to Northeast Health Wangaratta with minor injuries, and the other two truck drivers were uninjured.
“An investigation into the collision is ongoing,” the spokesperson said.
