A major highway west of Brisbane has been blocked after a three car Boxing Day crash, with motorists currently being advised to avoid the area.

The Warrego Highway has been blocked following a three-car crash involving seven people this afternoon, December 26.

Paramedics were called to the scene in Hatton Vale at 2.50pm, following reports that up to six cars were involved in the crash.

Investigations found only three cars were involved, with seven occupants in total.

Two patients were taken to Ipswich Hospital in stable condition – a female with minor lacerations, and a male with a laceration on his arm.

A Queensland Police spokesman said the eastbound lane was still blocked as of 3.45pm.

They advised motorists to expect traffic delays and avoid the area where possible.

An Ipswich woman has claimed her friend was involved in the crash and had seen one of the drivers speeding in an “erratic” and “crazy” manner.

She said the driver “lost control” and flipped the vehicle.

Police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash.
