The driver of the car died at the scene.
A female passenger was transported to the Princess Alexandra Hospital with serious injuries.
The four occupants in the northbound vehicle were not seriously injured.
The Brisbane Valley Highway was closed for a number of hours but has since been reopened.
The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating.
