On 5/9/25 at approx 00:15hrs Woolgoolga RFS Fire and Rescue NSW Station 507 Woolgoolga Halfway Creek and Corindi Rural Fire Brigade were paged to reports of an MVA with persons trapped, involving 2 trucks on the Pacific Highway near Halfway Creek.

Upon arrival, crews were met with a semi-trailer on its side completely blocking Southbound traffic. After working to clear debris from the north bound lanes, they were reopened and traffic resumed to normal north towards Grafton.

All Southbound lanes from Halfway Creek are still currently blocked, please avoid the area if possible.
