Seven people have been rushed to hospital following a massive seven vehicle crash along the M1 on the Gold Coast on Friday morning.
Seven vxjmtzywehicles, including a truck, crashed at Coomera on the M1 heading southbound to the Gold Coast around 5.40am.
All seven people were taken to Gold Coast University hospital – three are in a serious condition and four have suffered minor injuries.
The crash victims include six men in their 20s and 40s and one woman in her 50s.
The woman, who was initially trapped in her vehicle, has since been rescued and remains in a stable condition.
A Queensland Ambulance service spokesperson told NCA NewsWire that there was extensive damage to the vehicles.
“These patients are very fortunate to get away with the injuries that they have,” he said.
Six ambulances, one critical care paramedic and one high acuity response team treated the injured.
The horror scenes shut down all southbound lanes, causing massive delays to morning traffic.
The four southbound lanes have since reopened.
There are up to 45-minute delays.
Drivers are urged to use alternative routes where possible.
