Dashcam footage has captured a three-car pile-up on the Mitchell Freeway, caused by a car coming to a complete stop in the middle of fast-moving traffic.
The footage, which is dated last Tuesday, shows three cars plough into one another after a blue Volkswagen Polo stopped for no apparent reason just before the Ocean Reef Road exit.
It appears all drivers involved escaped without injuries as the cars can be seen to continue their journey after the prang.
A police spokesman said they were not aware of the accident.
The footage was shared in a social media post by Dash Cam Owners Australia, claiming the blue Volkswagen "caused chaos" after "he stopped completely, no hazards, no attempt to pull off the freeway".
