A man was taken to Casey Hospital after a car rollover on the Monash Freeway on Monday 23 September.
The two-car collision occurred about 5.20pm near Ernst Wanke Road in Narre Warren.
Ambulance Victoria said paramedics were called just after 5pm and treated two men for minor injuries.
“One man, aged in his 50s, was taken to Casey Hospital in a stable condition. The other man, aged in his 40s, was taken to Dandenong Hospital in a stable condition,” an ambulance spokesperson said.
Traffic was brought to a standstill with two outbound lanes closed until 6pm.
In a post on Victoria Police’s Casey Eyewatch page, it said Casey Highway Patrol attended the collision and it’s “believed a medical episode has caused the driver to collide with another vehicle.”
The post stated while police were directing traffic at the scene, “they were appalled by the number of drivers that were using their phones to film and take photographs of the collision.”
“Although traffic was at walking pace, it’s still not cool and against the law to use your phone while driving,” the post read.
