A two-car crash on the Midland Highway at Kempton has led to three people being rushed to hospital with injuries this afternoon.
Police said the crash occurred around 11:45am on Thursday and have confirmed that the occupants of the vehicles are currently being taken to the hospital.
Their condition is not yet known.
“The road is not blocked, however people are asked to use caution if travelling through the area,” a spokesperson said.
According to witnesses at the scene, the crash was reportedly caused by a driver who failed to give way at the Mood Food intersection.
The 110km/h intersection has been the site of a number of serious crashes in recent years, including the death of an elderly driver in 2019, believed to have been caused by ‘inattentiveness’.
“This case serves as a timely reminder that momentary lapses in concentration or inattentiveness by drivers of motor vehicles can have tragic consequences,” Coroner Robert Webster said at the time.
