Emergency crews have been sent to two separate crashes on major Sunshine Coast roads on Tuesday afternoon.

A Queensland Ambulance Service spokesman said paramedics took two patients, a male and a female, to Sunshine Coast University Hospital after their two cars crashed on a Bruce Highway off ramp leading onto the Frizzo Connection Road in the Tanawha and Sippy Downs area.

The crash was reported shortly after 2pm on February 19.

The woman suffered a non-life threatening injury to her arm and the man reported abdominal pain.

Both are in a stable condition.

Later on Tuesday, crews were also called to a crash on the Sunshine Motorway at Coolum just before 3pm, a paramedic spokeswoman said.

Two drivers were involved in a two-vehicle crash and appear to be a stable condition, but paramedics are yet to assess their injuries, the spokeswoman reported.

A Queensland Police Service spokeswoman said the crash occurred about 1km south of the Peregian Springs exit.
