He miraculously escaped unharmed.
The emergent declaration covers Cunningham Highway between Lake Moogerah Road, Aratula and Fisher Park truck stop, Maryvale.
There is a 500m exclusion area around the truck due to the nature of the chemical.
The Gap remains closed this morning with emergency crews working to transfer the liquid into another truck before removing it from the scene.
