A motorcyclist is fighting for life after a serious crash shut the Bruce Highway and triggered major peak-hour delays north of Brisbane.

Emergency crews were called just before 5.45am to Murrumba Downs, where a motorbike and truck collided on the southbound lanes near Dohles Rock Road. Multiple ambulance units remain at the scene, with the rider in a life-threatening condition.

Commuters are being warned to expect delays of at least 90 minutes between Anzac Avenue and Dohles Rock Road, with motorists urged to avoid the area if possible.
