A failed overtaking attempt on the Bass Highway in Northern Tasmanian resulted in a serious crash late last night.
Emergency services were called to the scene of the crash involving a grey Toyota Corolla sedan and a grey Nissan Navara dual cab ute on the Bass Highway at Deloraine shortly before 11pm.
According to preliminary investigations, the two vehicles collided head-on after the Nissan attempted to overtake a truck about 1 km west of the Deloraine eastern connector.
The sole occupant of the Toyota and the front passenger of the Nissan were taken to Launceston General Hospital with serious injuries.
The driver of the Nissan and two other passengers were also taken to the hospital.
The Bass Highway was closed for four hours to allow crash investigators to examine the scene and conduct inquiries.
Any witnesses are urged to come forward with any information they may have.
