A man is dead after a two-car smash involving a stolen vehicle south of Brisbane this morning.

The four people in the stolen car - two women aged 31 and 27, and two males aged 17 and 19 - have been taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after the crash at Beenleigh.

However, the sole occupant of the other vehicle, a 58-year-old man, died at the scene.

A man and a woman who were in the stolen car suffered fractured legs and abdominal injuries.

Police say the 19-year-old man was driving the stolen vehicle, and they are waiting to interview him.

Officers say the car was stolen on Friday night.

Meanwhile, a man has died in a single-vehicle accident in central Queensland.

It happened on the Capricorn Highway near Anakie just after midday.

In north Queensland, a 26-year-old motorbike rider is in a critical condition.

Police say his bike hit the back of a car this morning.
