Police said drug utensils were found inside the ute, but charges had not been laid on Thursday night.
Two women in their 40s were trapped in the crash, near the D'Aguilar Highway overpass on Pumicestone Road at Caboolture, after 8.30am on Thursday.
One woman was transported to hospital with serious chest injuries, a Queensland Ambulance Service spokesman said.
Another woman was left trapped for a "sustained amount of time" before being removed with minor injuries from the car.
The two patients were transported to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital.
Photos posted to social media show the single-cabin ute on top of two sedans, with emergency services at work extracting trapped passengers.
Reports initially suggested the ute came off the D'Aguilar Highway overpass bridge.
However, police said investigators believe the ute was, in fact, coming down the off-ramp alongside the D'Aguilar Highway Caboolture Bypass when the driver failed to negotiate the turn onto Pumicestone Road.
Police believe the ute crossed two southbound lanes on Pumicestone Road, mounted the traffic island and flew through the air before landing on top of two northbound cars.
The Forensic Crash Unit and Caboolture police were investigating.
