One person is fighting for life, and two others suffered injuries after a multi-vehicle crash on the Sunshine Coast on Tuesday night.

Police said just before 6pm, a black Holden Rodeo was travelling south on Walter Hay Drive between Doonan and Noosaville when it crashed into a black Audi S3 travelling in the opposite direction.

The impact caused the Audi to veer onto the south side of the road, where it collided with a white Hyundai Palisade.

Queensland Ambulance Service said the most seriously injured man in his 20s, who was initially trapped in his vehicle, suffered life-threatening injuries.
