QPS have closed Gympie Rd in both directions and motorists are urged to avoid the area or expect long delays.

Witness Janelle Windham said she thought a car ran up the back of another car at first.

“They all stopped and got out but then when one of the cars moved I could see someone on the road,” she said.

“They put blankets up and brought out a spinal board.”

More to come.
