Police at the scene Sunday morning.

Two people have been rushed to hospital after a two-vehicle crash in Brisbane’s outer south which sent one car crashing into a traffic light pole.

Emergency crews arrived at the scene on the corner of Beaudesert and Algester roads, Parkinson, just before 6am Sunday.

One person suffered life-threatening injuries in the crash.

Paramedics treated a male patient aged in his 20s for head, neck, chest and pelvic injuries before taking him to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a life-threatening condition.

The woman, aged in her 40s, was also taken to the PA Hospital but in a stable condition.

Motorists were advised that delays can be expected on Beaudesert Rd as the wreckage was being cleared. Vehicles heading southbound on Beaudesert Rd towards Browns Plains were being diverted to Illaweena Street while only one northbound lane remained open.

Officers from the police forensic crash unit remained on scene mid-morning investigating the circumstances leading up to the collision.

The scene of the crash Sunday morning.

A nearby resident posted on social media Sunday morning about car debris left on the road in the vicinity of Lakewood Avenue and Dalrymple Place – just minutes away from where the horror crash took place.

“To the person that drove into the light pole up the top of Lakewood Avenue. Would you mind coming to get the rest of your car off the road?” the user commented.

“Anyone that lives in this street keep your eyes peeled for a black/silver sub with a caved in driver side front end.”

Police have not yet confirmed if the incidents are linked.
