Fuel tanker appears to be a triple trailer road train, involved in a collision with a quad trailer bulk carrier, where the two rear trailers have rolled. Big mess.
Judging by the damage to the tanker it looks like a side tipper may have had a side door down. There was 2 tanker trailers ripped open. Also The title was wrong. The tanker was a triple (good pickup S_NZ). The other truck was a quad. Well worth looking at all the photos

Looks to me like they only "just" clipped each other on the apex of the corner, its only ripped the outside tires off the fuel trailers, incredibly all the axles look to still be attached. The front bumper on the side tipper looks to be in good condition, shows just how strong those front under run protection bumpers are, I'm guessing it only twisted when it got buried into the dirt, not the impact with the alloy trailer rims. First contact point look like its on the front fuel trailer. It looks like when the first trailer on the side tipper has hit the second fuel trailer, it appears to have smashed the side tippers - side door open but only at the front. As they continued past each other it looks to have pulled the front of side door down further and further, slicing the tanks open like that. It seems all the contact points are steel to aluminum, if steel and steel were smashing together there would likely be a lot of sparking. Thanks for the pictures Paul, very lucky it didn't go up in flames.
