Two lanes were blocked at Murrumba Downs while two more remained open for motorists while police are on the scene controlling traffic until the vehicle and trailer are towed away.
Emergency services responded to reports of a single-vehicle crash near the North Lakes ramp at 11am.
A driver passing the area before emergency services arrived said a ute with a trailer, holding machinery including a concrete floor saw and a mini excavator, appeared to have been spun around and was facing oncoming traffic.
“All his machinery out of his trailer was scattered over majority of the lanes," they said.
“Looked like a few cars pulled over and started to help move things."
The driver said there was one lane open with items scattered across four lanes.
A Queensland Ambulance Services spokeswoman said a male patient was taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital with lower back pain.
