Travellers have been intrigued by the wreckage of a burnt out truck which has lay abandoned in a rest area on North West Coastal Highway about 70km north of Minilya Roadhouse for a week now.

The fire was well and truly out, but the ashes were fresh when Ngaarda Media attended on Saturday afternoon, but a DFES representative said the fire occurred as the result of an accident around 11pm on August 9.

He said volunteers and staff from Coral Bay attended and police took the driver to hospital.

The vehicle was parked in a dedicated rest area and one trailer had been removed with cutting equipment,

There were no suspicious circumstances.
