The driver may have left the scene but the catastrophic impact of a car of a silver hatchback into line of trees on the Sunshine Coast tells a story of its own.

Police tape cordons off the crash site on the Twin Waters roundabout where the car had left the road, smashing into the trunk of a tree and snapping it in half.

Police said emergency services were called to the intersection of Ocean Drive and Twin Waters Drive around 3:30am after a Ford Focus was located having collided with a tree.

Upon arrival, the occupants of the vehicle were unable to be located.

Inquires into locating the driver of the vehicle are ongoing at this stage.

A Queensland Fire and Emergency Service spokesperson said one firefighting crew attended and made sure the scene was safe.

The spectacle stopped riders on the popular morning cycling route which also leads to the north shore dog beach.

Police are investigating a serious crash on the corner of Twin Waters and Ocean Drives.

One local could be heard saying “they must have hit that hard” as passing cars also slowed to survey the damage.

The hit and run comes less than 24 hours after crash carnage blocked the Bruce Hwy in the same region for several hours and left one woman fighting for her life on Friday and amid a two-week road safety blitz.
