Two individuals required emergency assistance after their vehicle overturned in Melbourne's inner north in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Early Morning Collision on Mount Alexander Road
The incident occurred on Mount Alexander Road in Ascot Vale at approximately 2:10am on Sunday. According to reports, a moving car collided with a stationary, parked vehicle. The force of the impact caused the moving car to roll, ultimately coming to rest on its side.
Dramatic Rescue by Fire Crews
The two occupants of the car found themselves trapped inside the wreckage following the rollover. Firefighters from the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) were called to the scene to perform a technical rescue. To safely extract the trapped individuals, crews were required to carefully remove the car's front windscreen, creating a viable exit point.
Both people were successfully pulled from the damaged vehicle and assessed by paramedics. Fortunately, neither person sustained serious injuries in the dramatic crash.
Investigation into the Cause
Victoria Police are now investigating the exact circumstances that led to the collision. Officers will work to determine the factors involved, which may include speed, driver condition, and road conditions at the time. The section of Mount Alexander Road where the crash happened is a major arterial route.
This early morning crash serves as a stark reminder of the dangers present on the roads, even during times of lower traffic volume. The swift response of emergency services ensured a potentially serious situation did not end in tragedy.
