Police were called to the incident and tasked with traffic control.
In 2020 after the death of 29-year-old motorist of Sam Hendry at the Kewarra Beach roundabout, the stretch of highway was labelled the “Bermuda Triangle of Cairns traffic”.
In 2019 a Chinese tourist was also killed while attempting to cross the highway after being struck by a southbound car.
During the incident the northbound lane was reduced to one lane and motorists were delayed.
