A man has been shot and a woman has died in a Queensland highway crash involving multiple cars.
The chaos started about midday on the Bruce Highway just north of Brisbane.
Queensland Police investigators say a red Porsche Macan crashed at Palmview.
A man, armed with a gun, exited the Porsche and approached a white SsangYong Rexton, the police say.
The man then allegedly shot the driver of the Rexton in the arm and stole the car, which he then used to flee the scene.
Emergency services were called about 12.10pm, to Bruce Highway, following reports of the initial crash.
The stolen Rexton was then found crashed in Landsborough, near Forestry Road, at about 12.35pm, by police.
The man who allegedly hijacked the Rexton then allegedly stole another car, a grey Mazda 3, but he was quickly arrested by police near Steve Irwin Way.
The gun allegedly used to shoot the Rexton driver was found in the Mazda, the police said.
The police have declared three crime scenes, one at Palmview and two in Landsborough.
A 22-year-old woman from Upper Mount Gravatt died from injuries sustained from the multi-vehicle crash, and a man who was with her was also taken to hospital as he sustained serious injuries.
