A Melbourne driver has had a lucky escape after a truck carrying chicken meat crashed on a highway.

The truck, from Hazeldene’s chicken farm in Bendigo, destroyed more than $100,000 worth of fresh chicken products when it hurtled into the overpass barrier during peak hour.

The exclusive footage, obtained by 9News, shows the truck slamming into the side barrier on the Green Gully Road overpass at Keilor about 5.30pm yesterday, as powerlines, debris and poultry rain down on the road below.

Just moments before the smash, traffic was banked-up under the overpass, but by a stroke of sheer luck there was a break in the traffic at the exact moment the truck skidded around the bend and over the freeway barrier.

Ashish Kumar was driving to work at the time, when his hatchback was almost buried by the dropped load of chicken.

“First came soil… (then) I saw the truck parts, the white body parts, and then all the chicken and egg stuff,” Mr Kumar told 9News.

The 20-year-old cleaner said he thought the truck was carrying concrete and sped up to avoid the debris.

“Just a matter of one second…if I missed by one second…everything would be on me,” Mr Kumar said.

Fellow witness, father-of-two Jessie Cassar, said leaving work just minutes earlier would likely have put him directly in harm’s way.

“I probably could’ve been under it, or just missed it,” Mr Cassar said.

Incredibly, nobody was seriously hurt during the crash including the 50-year-old male truck driver who escaped the crash practically unscathed.

He was taken to Footscray Hospital in a stable condition, and is now recovering from soft-tissue injuries at home.

The impact of the crash left the truck’s trailer mangled and dangling from the side of the overpass as cars below skidded and careered out of harm’s way.

A spokesperson for Hazeldene's, Michelle Daniel, said the company is currently making inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

The crash caused major delays on the Calder Freeway north of Melbourne.

Investigations into the smash are ongoing.
