A car has been hit by a trailer after it became detached from another vehicle near the Cobham Bridge on Wednesday morning.

Police were called to the scene at about 7.50am where the crash was blocking the airport bound lane of the roundabout at the southern end of the bridge.

A police spokesperson said no one was injured but the car hit by the trailer was not driveable.

All lanes had re-opened by the time police left the scene at 8.30am.
