A TRUCK delivering paint to Bunnings Hardware store overturned on the ‘elbow’ of Bulli Pass this morning causing traffic delays.

Motorists passing the accident could have been forgiven for thinking the delays were due to an experimental new masterpiece from artist, Jackson Pollock, according to a post from NSW Rural Fire Service.

Emergency services crews responded to the truck accident, carrying six tonnes of paint, after it lost control and rolled spilling around 1000 litres of paint onto the road.

“Thankfully, our specialist crews were able to clean up the accidental art installation without any damage to the local environment,” a spokesperson from NSW Rural Fire Service said.

No one was injured in the accident.
