Motorists traveling between NSW and South Australia are facing major disruptions after a train collided with a truck on a major highway linking the two states.

Police said the road was closed in both directions and would remain closed for some time.

Motorists coming from NSW will not be able to drive past Broken Hill on the Barrier Highway into SA.
Motorists traveling east cannot drive past the Petersburg Road – Peterborough exit, approximately 140 miles from the border.
NSW authorities said if people needed to travel they could take the Silver City and Sturt highways instead, but that would add at least two hours to the journey.
