Briefly
EMERALD Police Senior Sergeant Greg Addis is asking drivers to be wary on wet roads, following a serious crash at a T-intersection over the weekend.
At 11.20am on Sunday 12 July, police believe a car failed to give way at the T-intersection of Bailey Road and Majestic Drive in Cockatoo, and was hit by a car travelling along Bailey Road.
Ambulance Victoria spokesperson Paul Bentley said a woman in her forties and a man in his forties were both treated at the scene.
“The woman had some back pain and some chest pain – she was treated by paramedics and taken to The Alfred hospital in a stable condition,” Mr Bentley said.
“The man had some neck pain but didn’t go to hospital.”
Sen Sgt Greg Addis asked drivers to be careful on the roads, especially in winter when surfaces are wet and visibility is down.
“(It) quite obviously could have been avoided with people paying better attention,” he said.
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
