A 9-year-old girl was trapped in one of the cars for a short time and crews were forced to cut her out. She had leg and seatbelt injuries and was tranported to hospital.

A 3-year-old boy, who was in the same car, was also taken to hospital stable for surveillance.

Traffic was being diverted to Billabirra Crescent off Beaudesert-Nerang Rd after the crash and traffic was backed up close to a kilometre heading west for some time.
