A baby has died after a ute ploughed into the back of a car parked beside a busy freeway.

Queensland Police are investigating the fatal crash between a silver four-wheel-drive that was parked on the side of the northbound M1, when it was struck by a grey ute in the early hours of Sunday.

Police say the baby boy, who was in the parked four-wheel-drive, was rushed to the Gold Coast University Hospital, but died a short time later.

The driver of the four-wheel-drive, a 24-year-old Ormeau Hills woman, was also taken to hospital in a serious condition.

The driver of the ute, a 51-year-old Loganlea man, sustained minor injuries.
