A man has been charged after allegedly testing positive to drugs following a crash in the Sunshine Coast hinterland overnight.

Emergency services were called to a single vehicle rollover on the Bruce Hwy at Beerwah about 11.35pm on Saturday, where two people were treated by paramedics.

Both were taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in stable conditions.

A Queensland Police Service spokeswoman said the driver, a 41-year-old Pelican Waters man, was charged with drug driving.

Police allege the man was driving a Kia Rio hatchback on the northbound on-ramp of the Bruce Hwy when it left the road and rolled down an embankment.

The spokeswoman said the man suffered minor injuries and allegedly returned a positive roadside saliva test.

It was sent away for further testing. The man was given a notice to appear in Caboolture Magistrates Court on December 2.

Paramedics and police were also called to an unrelated minor crash at Kings Beach about 8.50pm.

Police say the driver, a 35-year-old man, crashed his car into a pole and was taken to hospital in a stable condition.

Prior to this, emergency services rushed another man to hospital after he was reportedly bitten by a snake at Banksia Ave at Noosa Heads about 7pm.
