An armed man has been shot by police after a pursuit along a highway on the Sunshine Coast. Officers were called to the Sunshine Motorway after a crash near the Sippy Downs exit just after midday, police said. The car involved in the crash fled the scene, after which police trailed it to Nambour Connection Road in Woombye. The driver then got out of his car on the Bruce Highway and approached officers while armed with a gun. He was subsequently shot by police. Officers provided first aid to the man, before he was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition.
