Two rushed to hospital following crash

A man in his 50s has been airlifted to the Alfred Hospital after a car crash in Clyde North on Wednesday 30 September.

Emergency services were called to the two-car collision at Berwick-Cranbourne Road just after 2pm.

A Victoria Police spokesman said it is believed a vehicle was travelling along Berwick-Cranbourne Road when the driver appeared to have suffered a medical episode about 1.40pm.

Investigators have been told his vehicle crossed onto the opposite side of the road before mounting a footpath, crossing Hamersley Drive (near Bunnings Warehouse) before colliding with another vehicle and coming to rest in a carpark.

A Fire Rescue Victoria spokesperson said firefighters helped to free the two patients who were transferred to the care of Ambulance Victoria.

Ambulance Victoria said paramedics treated a man in his 50s who was flown by air ambulance to The Alfred in a critical condition with a suspected medical condition.

A woman in her 50s, who police say was the sole occupant of the other vehicle, was rushed to Dandenong Hospital in a stable condition with a medical condition.

FRV and CFA firefighters from Cranbourne and Clyde fire brigades respectively attended the scene along with police, to reports of two people requiring emergency attention.

Police are investigating and urge anyone who witnessed the incident or with dash cam footage to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
