AUTHORITIES hope to have a busy Sydney road reopened by peak hour following a fiery fatal truck crash which killed two people.
A fuel tanker crashed and exploded at Mona Vale on the city's northern beaches on Tuesday afternoon and authorities are working overnight to clean up the debris left behind.
However, they say the route may not open until later in the morning due to extensive damage to the road surface.
The remains of the charred truck and four other vehicles involved in the smash littered Mona Vale Rd near Samuel St.
Two males died in the blaze just after 3pm (AEST) and six people were taken to hospital.
Police say it appears the truck lost control, hit a power pole and four other cars before ending up on its side, spilling fuel over the road.
Remaining fuel has since been drained from the tanker and it's expected what's left of the vehicle will be removed for examination.
Neither police nor the Transport Management Centre (TMC) could guarantee when the road between Pittwater Rd and Powder Works Rd would be reopened, but were hopeful it would reopen sometime in the morning.
A Transport Management Centre spokeswoman told AAP the road's pavement would need to be repaired and resurfaced.
She said authorities would work through the night.
Crash investigation police would also remained at the scene overnight.
