New footage of the moment a truck slammed into a barrier and was left dangling from an overpass north of Melbourne has emerged.
The vehicle struck a side barrier on the Green Gully Road overpass at Keilor at about 5.30pm on Tuesday, police said.
The footage, obtained by 9News, shows there was no traffic underneath the bridge at the time of the incident.

The tail-end of the truck was left hanging precariously over the Calder Freeway, with the footage showing its load — including chicken products — littered on the road below.
Crews worked through the night to clean up the mess left by the collision, with two cranes used to remove the truck at around 2am.
The male driver was taken to Footscray Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, and remains in a stable condition.
No one else was injured and the cause of the crash is not yet known.
