Lucky escape for Yarra Junction driver



On Sunday morning, a lucky driver in Yarra Junction managed to miraculously avoid serious injury after a crash.

Ambulance Victoria, Upper Yarra SES and Yarra Junction and Little Yarra CFA crews were paged to a crash with possible persons trapped.

Upon arrival, they discovered a vehicle that had rolled and come to rest in a ditch.

Miraculously the sole occupant had self-extricated with no obvious injuries but was left in the hands of Ambulance Victoria with the scene and traffic being managed by Yarra Junction Fire Brigade (CFA) and Little Yarra CFA.
