Two men are in hospital and a car has burst into flames following two separate crashes on the Sunshine Coast.

A car ignited after a three-vehicle crash at Sippy Downs involving two cars and a motorbike.

A Queensland Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said a single crew was called to the crash on Claymore Rd, near Albany St, about 6.20am.

She said a firefighter in a breathing apparatus used a hose to put the fire out and it was extinguished by about 6.50am.

The spokeswoman said no one was trapped during the crash.

A Queensland Ambulance Service spokesman said the motorbike rider, a man, was transported in a stable condition with back pain to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital.
