A truck driver has escaped serious injuries in a rollover that spread debris over a rural road.

It is the third major crash on Sunshine Coast roads in a 12-hour period and six people have been injured in the incidents.

Emergency services were called to a B-double rollover at the intersection of Coleus and Eumundi-Kenilworth roads at Eerwah Vale about 2pm.

The truck, which appeared to be carrying a load of dirt, was blocking a road.

A Queensland Police spokeswoman said traffic diversions were in place and officers were controlling the scene.

The truck driver, a man in his 40s, was transported to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition with leg injuries.

A Queensland Fire and Emergency Services spokesman said a crew would remain at the crash until the truck was back on its wheels and a clean-up was underway.

This is the third crash in a day on Sunshine Coast roads.

Earlier, four people were treated for injuries at the scene of a dramatic car crash on a busy road in Maroochydore on Tuesday morning.

Emergency services were called to the two vehicle crash at Main Rd and Maroochydore Rd at 8.10am.
