Two men have been taken to hospital following separate emergency callouts on the Sunshine Coast overnight.

A man suffered burns to his legs after a Toyota Hiace van caught fire on Lake Dunethin Rd in Maroochy River at about 10.46pm.

A Queensland Fire Department spokeswoman said one fire and rescue crew and two rural fire crews arrived at about 11pm.

“It was a van well alight,” the spokeswoman said.

“They had it extinguished by about 11.30pm”.

A Queensland Police Service spokesman said the incident appeared to be accidental and was “non-suspicious.”

The man was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Earlier in the evening, paramedics were called to Pikes Rd in Glass House Mountains at 6.20pm after a quad bike rollover.

A man in his 20s was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition.
