A Queensland Fire spokesman said two crews arrived about 6.30am to find the vehicle “totally involved” but were able to extinguish the blaze about 6.50am and make the scene safe.

Both were taken to Nambour Hospital in stable conditions.

A Queensland Police spokeswoman said the highway was reopened at 7.45am.
