The Bruce Highway was closed at Bowen for about an hour after a crash caused a 6m boat to come off a trailer.
The multi-vehicle crash occurred near the South Bowen Rest Area about 8.40pm on Tuesday.
A Queensland Police spokesman said a vehicle rear-ended another vehicle that was towing a boat.
The fishing vessel came off the trailer, forcing the highway to be shut.

A Queensland Ambulance Service spokesman said paramedics left the scene when their services were not required.
