A person has been hospitalised after their car rolled on a busy Sunshine Coast road, prompting an emergency response to free them from the wreckage.
The incident occurred at the roundabout connecting David Low Way and Maroochydore Noosa Rd shortly before 2pm.
A Queensland Fire Department spokesman said crews were called to the scene and worked to extract the driver from the overturned vehicle.
Once freed, paramedics assessed the patient, who was reportedly suffering arm injuries.
“We did have three paramedic units attend,” a Queensland Ambulance Service spokesman said.
“On scene, they treated a person with significant arm injuries and transported that person in a stable condition to Sunshine Coast University Hospital.”
Initial reports suggested the driver was a man, although this has not been confirmed.
