A woman is fighting serious injuries after being violently thrown from her vehicle during a harrowing single-car crash in Mt Duneed this week.
The terrifying incident unfolded on Barrabool Road, sending shockwaves through the Geelong community and prompting a major emergency response.
Emergency Scramble to Crash Scene
Multiple emergency units descended upon the scene after reports of the serious crash came through. Paramedics, police and other first responders worked frantically to stabilise the injured woman at the location.
"The force of the impact was such that the female occupant was ejected from the vehicle," a police spokesperson confirmed to the Geelong Advertiser.
Ongoing Investigation into Cause
Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives have launched a full probe into the circumstances surrounding the crash. Forensic experts are examining the vehicle and crash site to determine what led to the catastrophic loss of control.
Police have cordoned off the area while they piece together the sequence of events that resulted in such devastating consequences for the driver.
Community Urged to Drive Safely
The shocking incident serves as a grim reminder of the importance of road safety in regional Victoria. With holiday season approaching, authorities are pleading with drivers to exercise extreme caution on country roads.
"Any crash where someone is ejected from their vehicle is particularly concerning," the police spokesperson added. "We're urging all motorists to ensure they're driving to conditions and that their vehicles are roadworthy."
The woman remains in hospital receiving treatment for her injuries as the investigation continues.
