What he didn’t realise was that this dashboard recording would end up capturing the moment a rock was thrown at his truck from behind and the subsequent exchanges over his UHF radio.

Luckily for Mr Walker, there was little damage to his truck as the rock hit the trailer.

However, the truck in front of Mr Walker wasn’t so lucky.

“The bloke in front of me, he copped all of it; he had smashed windscreens, dented doors,” Mr Walker said.

“There must of been a few of them. I was behind him and I only got one thrown at me.”

As soon as Mr Walker realised he’d been hit, he got on his UHF to warn other truck drivers travelling along the Moree bypass.

“Someone just threw a rock at me,” he can be heard saying over the UHF.

“He’s probably about 200 metres from the lights.”

As he continues driving Mr Walker notices the truck in front has his hazzard lights on and checks to see if he’s okay.

“How about you old mate, what’s going on up here?” he said.

The other truck driver responded saying all his windscreens were smashed. And after Mr Walker asked whether anyone had called the police, the truck driver told him he called them but they were tied up and couldn’t get there for another 15 minutes.

As he was driving past, Mr Walker saw the culprit run across behind his truck to the other side of the road, near the fuel depot.

Mr Walker, who lives in Port Macquarie, regularly drives through Moree and while he’s well aware of the rock-throwing situation, this was the first time he’d experienced it first-hand.

“Someone’s going to get seriously hurt,” he said.

“If a truck gets hit by a rock and a bloke gets hit in the chest, where’s that truck going to end up? In the fuel depo across the road?

“We’re just trying to get home safely to our families.”

Mr Walker said he knows of a number of big companies which are no longer sending their trucks through Moree to avoid being hit by rocks.

Instead these trucks are now being sent along the Pacific Highway, which could have a significant impact on Moree businesses.
