The Sunshine Motorway is at a standstill with people on social media saying cars are being turned around due to both lanes being blocked.

A Queensland Fire Department spokeswoman said one crew was on scene and no entrapments were reported.

Meanwhile, a man in his 60s has suffered “significant” head injuries in a truck crash at Bells Creek.

A Queensland Ambulance spokeswoman said the man’s truck rolled on Bells Creek Arterial Rd, and he was being treated at the scene.

More to come.
