A Sunshine Coast teenager and a man have been airlifted to hospital after a major highway crash.

The Forensic Crash Unit are investigating the incident at Colinton, in the Somerset Region, which occurred on Thursday night.

Initial investigations indicate that a Ford Falcon sedan and a Hyundai Santa Fe SUV collided on the D’Aguilar Highway near Nurinda Road at about 7pm.

The driver and sole occupant of the Ford, a 19-year-old Glass House Mountains man, sustained critical injuries and was airlifted to Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

He was in a stable condition by Saturday.

The driver and sole occupant of the Hyundai, a 38-year-old Hodgleigh man, sustained serious injuries and was also airlifted to Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

The Queensland Ambulance Service said the teenager was airlifted in a life-threatening condition with abdominal injuries and that the 38-year-old was airlifted in a potentially life-threatening condition with head injuries.
