More on that truck crash:

A Bakewell tart, launched from a school in the English town of Bakewell, is lost in space after an experiment went wrong. The tart was sent skywards using a helium balloon and it soared to 16,000 metres before communications were lost.

In other news for those on the roads:

• Driving warning for Dorset Road at Ferntree Gully, where there's water flowing across the road. SE Water are attending.
• There's a pile more trucks coming down the Northern Highway this morning after a truck crash on the Hume. All traffic is being detoured via Seymour.
• Kensington Road is closed in both directions at Hobsons Road after an accident in Kensington.

More from Camberwell: There was no vehicle near the scene, but a sergeant found a semi-trailer with "some damage to it" about a kilometre away.

Police arrested the 44-year-old driver, who has since returned a positive drug test. He's expected to be charged with drug driving and other driving-related offences later this morning.

Emergency works continue on Toorak Road near Wattle Valley Road. Motorists coming in from the east are asked to avoid the area.

A truck driver has left a "trail of destruction" along a road in Melbourne's east, hitting powerpoles and trees before stopping a kilometre away.

Police were called to Camberwell early this morning after reports of fallen powerpoles. The officers found one pole fallen completely, another on a nasty lean and several trees also run over, a spokesman said.

Up and at 'em. You'll need some of these:
