Truck Overturns Near Fuel Tanks in NSW

In Western North Carolina, a recent power outage led to widespread gas shortages, causing panic among residents as they struggled to find fuel. Gas stations were inoperable, and those that were open implemented cash-only policies and purchase limits, resulting in long lines at stations that still had fuel. Meanwhile, emergency relief efforts began to provide gas to stranded locals. In a separate incident in New South Wales, a truck carrying pet food overturned near a service station on the Hume Highway, narrowly avoiding a more serious disaster by landing close to fuel tanks. The driver sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to the hospital, while the service station was closed for cleanup. Motorists are advised to expect delays and check for traffic updates in the area.
