Just after 9am, the only delays left were through the crash area itself, no longer stretching back several kilometres down the road.

The bicycle rider, believed to be a man in his 20s, was taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital in a critical condition with head injuries.

Meanwhile the car driver, reportedly a P-plater, was not injured and remained at the crash scene assisting police with their enquiries.

At the peak of the delays, the Australian Traffic Network said heavy congestion was snaked back more than seven kilometres along Moggill Road to Pinjara Hills.

The Forensic Crash Unit investigation continues.
