The area South of Brisbane was evacuated after a mass blaze broke out.

A stolen car is believed to have caused a fiery crash that injured a man, destroyed a truck and closed a Queensland motorway due to hazardous smoke.

Police are hunting for two people seen running from the wrecked Audi that crashed into a B-double truck which then erupted into flames on the Logan Mwy near Kingston Rd at Loganlea about 8.15pm on Tuesday.

The car was stolen after it was involved in a crash at Durack, according to police.
