A man, the sole occupant of a ute pulling a trailer, was driving north on the David Low Highway about 8am Wednesday morning when the vehicle crossed to the other side of the road, clipping the rear of a southbound 4WD, before rolling down the sand dune toward Marcus Beach.
Coolum police said it appeared the man aged in his late 30s may have had a medical episode.
Fortunately, trees prevented the ute from rolling further down the dunes.
“It’s very fortunate no one else was involved,” police said. No one else was injured in the accident.
Police said the man was taken by ambulance to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition.
