Motorists are being warned of lengthy delays on the M1 this morning following a multi-vehicle crash.

Three cars collided northbound at Ormeau just after 5am, with one of the vehicles smashing into a guard rail.

Two people were treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to the Gold Coast University Hospital in stable conditions.

Those travelling from the Gold Coast to Brisbane are being warned to allow for extra travel time, with delays still being experienced.
