Initial reports suggest a white Mazda SUV was turning left into Ruthven St, from Long St, when it collided with a blue Ford sedan.

A Queensland Fire and Emergency Services spokeswoman said two fire crews also attended the scene, working to extract an unknown number of people from one of the vehicles.

“They’ve had to remove the side of one of the vehicles so they could extricate someone remaining in the car,” she said.

“They used cutting gear for that … and took the door off the drivers side of the vehicle.”
