From QPS Media on Facebook:
------------------
Motorists are advised that due to a petrol tanker rollover on the Mt Lindesay Highway, the highway is closed
between Brown Plains Road to the north and Green Road to the south.

Middle Road is closed from Coronation Street.

Motorists are urged to avoid the area and use an alternative route.

Long delays are expected and there is no time frame for clean-up.

As a precaution, businesses and residents in Blackwell Street and Anzac Avenue are being evacuated.  QFRS & QAS are in attendance.
