We've got some big accidents on the road already.

A truck has jacknifed on the South Gippsland Highway at Lesdon Avenue in Cranbourne.

All inbound lanes are blocked. According to a 3AW caller, the truck cab has ditched while the tray is across the road.

Police are on the way and traffic is building in Cranbourne.

A man has been located dead on the roof of a Thomastown business just after 3am this morning.

Police who arrived at the scene on High Street were unable to get the man's body down straight away because of live power lines.

It's suspected the man may have been electrocuted when an object he was holding struck overhead power lines.

Police will prepare a report for the coroner. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Good morning and happy Friday! The coffee machine at Media House is again empty and there are no beans in sight.

I've resorted to Nescafe but the last time this happened the blog was littered with errors.

I'll be on deck until 9am, bringing you traffic and transport updates and all the news you need to know from around Melbourne.

I'd love to hear from you if you have anything to share with other Express readers!
