Crews were first called to attend a car fire on the M1 Motorway in driving rain at Dora Creek.
The crew was then called to a car accident in Morisset bordering Dora Creek where a car slid out of control and into bushes and the railway fencing.
There was then a multiple car accident on the M1 Motorway three kilometres south of Morisset
A Tesla sedan had aquaplaned in poor weather, crossed dual lanes and landed in the median strip.
