A major Victorian highway has reopened after a semi-trailer tipped over and its cargo of beer spread across the road.
The Princes Highway, near Geelong, was reopened just after 4.30am (AEDT) today after the beer-laden B-double semi-trailer lost control and overturned last night.
Emergency crews took about 30 minutes to free the driver from his truck cab following the crash, which happened just after 9pm (AEDT).
The man was taken to the Geelong Hospital with possible spinal injuries.
Packaged beer and kegs were spread across the highway and the road was blocked between Cochranes and Pettavel roads.
Police said the goods were recovered, loaded onto another vehicle and transported from the crash scene.
Emergency services continued working at the scene early today to remove fuel spilt on the roadway following the accident.
Heavy haulage equipment was brought in to recover the overturned truck.

I used to have a dream ...
A beer truck would crash outside my house.
I would run out and grab all the beer and hide it in my room.
The police would come but wouldn't be able to find the beer.
