Police have been forced to close part of the M1 this morning after a nasty truck crash.
The B-double lost control southbound through West Burleigh around 1.50am on Tuesday before smashing into the concrete barrier.
Queensland Police have confirmed the impact caused diesel from the truck to spill across the roadway.
One of the southbound lanes has now been closed while crews work to clear the scene.
