Paramedics assessed the truck driver and a car driver also involved in the incident but neither needed hospitalisation.
Witnesses gave police several different accounts of how many vehicles were involved.
Firefighters were called to the scene to help clean up diesel spilling into a drain, a police spokeswoman said.
She said at 7.30am, major delays stretched from exit 34, where the accident took place, back to exit 41, seven kilometres away.
