Three survive horror smash

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH

A NARRE Warren South woman was airlifted to The Alfred hospital suffering lower body injuries on Wednesday afternoon following a three-car collision on Greaves Road, Berwick.
The 54-year-old woman was trapped in her car before emergency services cut into the Mazda to extricate her.
Various Facebook comments have said that the woman is in a stable condition, is talking and has no broken bones.
The accident occurred about 3pm when a 36-year-old man from Narre Warren driving a Ford Escape and travelling east on Greaves Road collided with the rear of the Mazda.
The male driver, who police said had suffered a medical condition, then swerved into oncoming traffic and collided with a Toyota Yaris which was being driven by a 52-year-old Glen Waverly man who escaped injury.
The 36-year-old was taken by road ambulance to The Alfred hospital suffering from chest and leg injuries.
Six CFA trucks and an SES rescue vehicle were called to the scene at 3.07pm and the site was confirmed safe at 4.20pm.
The air ambulance left the scene about 4.45pm.
The Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol Unit is investigating the accident.
