POLICE are investigating a two-car collision near Laharum on Tuesday that injured overseas tourists.
A Victoria Police media spokeswoman said people from Singapore were in a car travelling west on the Wonwondah-Dadswell Bridge Road when it collided with a car travelling north on Northern Grampians Road about 4.20pm.
“The first car contained five people, all Singapore nationals,” she said.
“Three female rear passengers, all aged 23, were injured in the collision.
“The male driver, 24, and another female passenger, 23, suffered minor injuries.
“The driver of the second vehicle, a 24-year-old Horsham woman, was uninjured.”
Ambulance Victoria spokesman Paul Bentley said one of the women in the first car had head, chest and spinal injuries.
“She was given a blood transfusion while being flown by air ambulance to The Alfred hospital in Melbourne in a critical condition,” he said.
“Another woman has head and leg injuries. She was flown by air ambulance to Melbourne, and transported via road to the Royal Melbourne Hospital in a critical condition.
“The third woman had neck and back injuries and was taken to Wimmera Base Hospital in Horsham in a stable condition.”
The cause of the crash is unknown.
The spokeswoman urged anyone who witnessed the incident to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 FREE.
