A man had parked his blue Kia Cerato in an emergency stopping area on the westbound lanes of the Logan Motorway at Forest Lake when a tragic incident occurred.

According to police reports, just before noon, a white Kia Cerato collided with his vehicle, and the man was allegedly hit as well.

Authorities suspect that the victim, who was outside his car at the time, sustained life-threatening injuries due to the accident.

The driver of the white Kia, a woman in her 30s, is currently cooperating with the police as they conduct their investigation.

Police are appealing to anyone who witnessed the incident or has dashcam footage to come forward and assist with their inquiries.

The investigation is ongoing.

Motorists are warned to expect major delays on the westbound lanes of the motorway, with traffic crawling past the crash scene.
