The driver and the three other passengers from the same car were all taken to hospital, including one who remains in a critical condition.

Of the other passengers, two were flown to the Princess Alexandra hospital.

A third, who was in a stable condition, was transported to the Ipswich Hospital.

The driver of the second car was treated for minor injuries at the scene.

Queensland Ambulance Service senior operations supervisor Mark Benstead said a high acuity response unit, multiple paramedics and aeromedical support attended the six people involved in the crash.

As southeast Queensland braces for more floods, Mr Benstead urged drivers to stay vigilant on the roads.

“At this time, I just urge everyone to exercise caution on the roads in part with the wet weather conditions that have occurred overnight,” he said.

Forensic Crash Unit investigations are ongoing.
