Traffic chaos on M1 Thousands of motorists are facing a lengthy commute home on the Pacific Motorway after a tanker fuel spill. A traffic jam stretching 24 kilometres from Logan to the Captain Cook Bridge has stranded motorists heading south during Tuesday's peak-hour. The traffic woes began when fuel started gushing from a moving tanker on the M1 about 2pm. A piece of metal pierced one of the truck's tanks, which spilled diesel along a 300-metre stretch of the motorway south of the Loganlea Road overpass. A short time after the spill was cleared, a car towing a trailer broke down near the Underwood Road overpass at Rochedale South, causing more traffic chaos. Police have warned motorists of lengthy delays.
