Emergency services arrived at the scene just after 2.30, reporting 20 people on the Brisbane-bound bus.

Everyone on board was able to remove themselves from the coach, but a man in his 20s suffered leg injuries, a man in his 40s arm injuries and a female in her 20s suffered chest pain.

All were taken to Gympie hospital in stable condition.

Three people were taken to hospital and others were transferred to another bus.

It is understood the other passengers were taken by police to a nearby service station where they were picked up by another coach.

“No road closures were required but as they were recovering the bus they have since put them in place,” a spokeswoman said.

“Around 6am road closures are in place while emergency services clear the scene of the crash.”

A Queensland Police Service spokeswoman said police investigations into the crash were ongoing.
