SES, CFA, Victoria Police and Ambulance Victoria crews were called out to a collision last night as a motorist struck a tree.

An Ambulance Victoria spokesperson said paramedics were called to reports of a collision in East Warburton at around 10.10pm on Wednesday 8 May 2024.

“One man in his 30s was transported by road ambulance to Maroondah Hospital in a stable condition,” they said.

The Upper Yarra SES unit shared on Facebook that fortunately, despite the impact being on the driver’s side, the occupant was able to be released from the car without the use of hydraulic tools. SES members and CFA rendered first aid while waiting for Ambulance Victoria to arrive.
