Emergency services, including a rescue helicopter with critical care paramedics on board, were called to the scene at 10.40am.

Police closed the road to allow the rescue helicopter a place to land while firefighters managed to free the man from the wreck.

He was the only person in the car at the time.

The Lifeflight spokesperson said the man was treated for several injuries, including a critical head and chest injury.

A Queensland Ambulance spokesperson said he was then flown to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a critical condition.
