SOUTHBOUND lanes on the South Gippsland Highway, Cranbourne will be closed for about two hours this morning (Tuesday) during a Major Collision Unit investigation of a two-vehicle crash.
A 25-year-old woman received serious injuries during the “low-impact” crash near Thompsons Road about 1.40pm on 8 August, a Victoria Police spokesman said.
According to Ambulance Victoria, she was transferred to Royal Melbourne Hospital in a stable condition. A woman in her thirties was assessed by paramedics at the scene and was not hospitalised.
A VicRoads spokeswoman said southbound lanes were expected to be closed until 10am.
She said southerly drivers could divert onto Thompsons Road, then Narre-Warren Road and re-enter the South Gippsland Highway south of Cranbourne.
