Smart summary
A serious multi-vehicle crash on Brisbane's Centenary Motorway has claimed one life and left two people in critical condition, prompting a major emergency response and an ongoing police investigation.
A man has died and two other people have been critically injured following a serious traffic collision on the Centenary Motorway in Brisbane on Tuesday morning. The crash involved a utility vehicle and a passenger car, with emergency services responding quickly after multiple calls from motorists.
Police, Queensland Ambulance Service paramedics, firefighters and traffic management crews attended the scene shortly after the collision occurred. One man was pronounced dead at the scene despite the efforts of emergency responders.
