The accident is blocking two lanes of Brisbane’s peak hour traffic on Margaret Street.
Emergency crews were at the accident scene trying to free up the traffic which is beginning to mount up in both directions.
The driver of the upside down cab has been taken to hospital in a stable condition.
The other cab driver is believed to be unhurt.
The two cabs collided about 4.35pm when one cab was coming from the Riverside Expressway using the Margaret Street on-ramp, police media said on Monday afternoon.
“It looks like it is on the William Street intersection with Margaret Street," a police media spokesman said.
This was confirmed by the Australian Traffic Network.
“Two lanes of Margaret Street are blocked after William Street and there are delays getting on to the Captain Cook Bridge,” Ben Mihan from the Australian Traffic Network helicopter said.
“There are two cars. I believe they are two taxis. All I can tell you is that there is one taxi on its roof on Margaret Street there.”
Mr Mihan said emergency crews had blocked two lanes of traffic on Margaret Street.
Initial police reports show neither cab driver was trapped in the vehicle.
Traffic is beginning to mount up behind the accident and police are trying to have the cab “righted” and removed to allow traffic to flow through the incident site.
