Police say the family’s car veered onto the wrong side of the road, before crashing into an oncoming truck.
“Unfortunately we have three people who have passed away after colliding head-on with a truck,” Inspector Danny Shaw said.
Emergency services responded to the multi-vehicle crash at Oakey Creek Bridge on the Warrego Hwy around 11.20am (AEST).
The Warrego Hwy was closed for several hours near the Oakey Creek Bridge due to the crash.
The multi-vehicle crash required five initial crews, a QFES spokesperson said.
One of the trucks rolled in the crash, a QAS spokesperson said.
Five patients were assessed by paramedics, including the two truck drivers who are currently in a stable condition.
One truck driver was transported to Toowoomba with a leg injury, while the second declined transport.
