One woman suffered serious head injuries, broken ribs and a fractured pelvis. Metropolitan fire fighters had to help remove the woman from the car before she could be taken to the Alfred Hospital. A second woman with serious head injuries was put into an induced coma before being taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital.Two men in the same car were also taken to the Royal Melbourne, one in a serious condition. A pregnant woman involved in the crash was initially thought to be uninjured, but subsequently was taken to hospital after her water broke. Three passengers in a 4WD involved in the smash were also taken to the the Royal Melbourne, two in a stable condition and the third as a precaution. The driver of the fourth car was assessed at the scene. Police from the Major Collision Investigation Unit are investigating the cause of the crash. |
