The accident is causing traffic headaches for the southbound run on the motorway.
Traffic is at a crawl from Coomera down to Helensvale, near Wet’n’Wild.
There are also dramas on the M1 on ramp at Pimpama after a truck lost a trailer load of dirt.
It happened at the roundabout with Rifle Range Road, causing some delays.

Well we opened the border to all the idiots again…what do you expect.
Its not the interstate idiots, its the idiot QLD drivers who most seem to have tunnel vision and no respect for other drivers.
They do not indicate, leave it to the last minute to change lanes and speed between camera hot spots.
So to date we have lost 6 people to Covid in QLD 2020.
The QLD State government closed the borders and ruined thousands of QLD businesses.
We have lost 254 people 2020 due to traffic crashes in QLD.
Most who were at fault and survived would have received a nominal fine and back on our roads.
The State government should put those at fault into mandatory 14 day driver training and have them retested before they are allowed back on the roads.
Too many lives lost and who cares!
