A woman is in a serious condition and two boys were taken to hospital after two trucks and a car collided on the Cunningham Highway on Thursday afternoon.
Paramedics, including critical care and the High Acuity Response Unit, treated the driver of the car and the two boys at the scene of the crash at Blackstone.
The force of the accident resulted in the car rolling with the crash happening at 4.20pm.
A Queensland Ambulance Service spokeswoman said two truck drivers declined assessment.
The woman, who is aged in her 30s, was encapsulated in her car and suffered chest, pelvic and abdominal injuries.
She was taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
The two boys were transported to the Queensland Children’s Hospital in a stable condition.
The highway was blocked in both directions near the Redbank Plains Road off-ramp but it started to re-open as of 6.50pm.
The crash came as police pleaded with motorists to take extra care after a horror run of crashes involving trucks on Queensland regional roads.
Eight people have died on Toowoomba country roads since June 9. Four of those fatal crashes involved a collision between passenger vehicles and trucks.
