A police incident has closed Stanley St at the Pacific Motorway overpass, causing major traffic delays.

Stanley Street in Woolloongabba has been closed to traffic at the Pacific Motorway overpass following a police incident.

Traffic diversions will be established, although police have warned drivers to avoid the area or risk long delays.

The incident is understood to be mental health related and there is no risk to the public.

Stanley Street has been blocked off at the Pacific Motorway overpass after a police incident.

Earlier, Brisbane southside commuters faced lengthy delays after a serious two-vehicle crash in Carindale left a man trapped.

Paramedics treated two men aged in their 40s after the crash at the intersection of Old Cleveland and Creek roads.

The trapped man was freed by authorities and taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a stable condition.

The other man was uninjured and did not require hospitalisation.

“The impact of the crash was quite significant,” a QAS spokeswoman said.

It is unclear how the crash occurred.

Traffic delays continued well after the roads were cleared.
