Now on the Sunshine Coast some roads remain closed as residents prepare for more rain across the region in coming days.

A Queensland Fire Department spokeswoman said two crews were called to the scene at 6.50am this morning.

The spokeswoman said the occupant was out of the small white sedan and safe with no swift water rescue required.

They reminded drivers not to enter floodwater, even if it looked shallow.
