It was an all emergency services response after a truck collided with a tree on Warburton Highway in Lilydale on Wednesday 25 September.
“Three CFA units from Lilydale and Coldstream responded, with crews arriving to find a truck had hit a large tree,” a CFA spokesperson said.
VICSES Lilydale Unit volunteers were also paged around 12.30pm to help remove a fallen tree which landed on top of the truck and on the road.
The driver of the vehicle made a lucky escape and was able to be removed from the cabin of the truck without harm, although was attended to by Ambulance Victoria paramedics.
“No emergency treatment or transport was provided,” an AV spokesperson said.
Victoria Police and VicRoads were also in attendance.
The speed was reduced to 40 kilometres per hour near Glenside Close as crews continued to clear the tree and remove the truck.
Lilydale SES stated on social media “we are thankful that all involved are ok. Please be safe out on the roads.”
