A caravan being towed by a vehicle on a Sunshine Coast motorway has jackknifed and flipped, shutting lanes and causing traffic delays.
Queensland emergency services were called to a single-vehicle crash on the southbound lane of Sunshine Motorway near Pacific Paradise shortly before 10am Thursday.
A Queensland Police spokesman said it is believed a car towing a caravan lost control, causing it to wobble, jackknife and flip.
The spokesman said it was possible the car had also rolled.
One to two southbound lanes have been closed while a tow truck arrived to remove the caravan, the spokesman added.
A Queensland Ambulance spokesman said paramedics arrived shortly before 10am and treated a man in his 50s who was taken to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition.
The crash comes just a day after a similar incident shut the Bruce Highway, with two people escaping serious injury when their car flipped while towing a caravan.
