Greasy roads played a part in numerous minor traffic accidents on the Sunshine Coast yesterday.
The notorious Sunshine Motorway-Brisbane Road on-ramps at Mooloolaba claimed another victim, this time a silver Subaru about 8am.
The car ended up on its side, after slamming into a light pole and bringing it to the ground. Energex were called to repair the damage.
Two people were taken to Nambour General Hospital with suspected minor injuries.
It was a similar result a few hours later in a single vehicle accident on the David Low Way at Yaroomba just before 11am.
A vehicle slid off the road and into trees on Noosa Parade about 1pm and two cars collided on Didillibah Road about 1.30pm.
No one was seriously injured.

Funny... I thought it was the driver of the car who obviously wasn't driving to the conditions thereby causing the damage to the light pole, not the rain!!
