A woman has died and two others were injured, including a young boy, in a horror collision between a car and truck on a highway.

Emergency services were called to the Cunningham Highway near Boonah Fassifern Rd at Fassifern, southwest of Brisbane, about 11.30am on Sunday.

Early investigations indicate a white Toyota HiLux, which was towing a boat, crossed in front of a truck at an intersection.

Her two passengers, an 11-year-old boy and a 22-year-old man, were transported to hospital in a stable condition.

A Queensland Ambulance Service spokeswoman told the Courier Mail the young boy suffered 'significant abdominal injuries' and was taken to Queensland Children's Hospital by road ambulance.

The 22-year-old man sustained abdominal, pelvic and limb injuries and was flown by rescue helicopter to the Princess Alexandra Hospital.

'Investigations into the cause of the accident are ongoing,' Queensland Police said in a statement.

'Police are asking anyone with information or vision of the accident to contact police.'
