Truck crash victim feared dead as pile-up closes major Brisbane road

A person is feared dead after three vehicles and a truck crashed in Brisbane’s east.

Paramedics treated several people, including one in a critical condition, after a four-vehicle crash in Murrarie that closed a major road.

Police urged motorists to avoid the area after the crash, about 10.50am at the Lytton Road exit on Creek Road.

The road is closed in both directions and delays were expected.

Multiple crews including critical care and high-acuity response paramedics treated four people, with a man in his 50s taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a stable condition with a head laceration and chest pain.

A man in his 20s and a woman in her 40s were believed to not be hurt.
