A 40-year-old man from Seddon was airlifted to the Alfred hospital with life-threatening injuries after colliding with a truck on the Westernport Highway in Lyndhurst this morning.
Police say the man and a 46-year-old Cranbourne woman were travelling east in a Mercedes, along Thompsons Road when they collided with a truck which was travelling north on the highway at roughly 1.50am.
Ambulance Victoria said the man suffered a head injury after he was trapped in the vehicle “for some time” while the Cranbourne woman was taken by road to hospital with a pelvis injury in a stable condition.
The truck driver, a 59-year-old man from Cranbourne, was not injured and stopped at the scene, police say.
The Seddon man, who was driving the Mercedes, is expected to be interviewed in relation to the collision.
