A woman and a child have been airlifted to hospital following a crash involving a car and a bus in Clyde.
Emergency services, including three CFA vehicles from Clyde and Langwarrin, were called to Patterson’s Road just after 12.45pm on Tuesday 27 October.
According to a CFA spokesperson, two people were trapped in the car and needed to be extricated by volunteers, who worked alongside Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) personnel to free the pair.
Paramedics assessed three people at the scene and as a result, two air ambulance helicopters were dispatched.
A child was flown to the Royal Children’s Hospital in a stable condition with no obvious injuries.
A woman in her 20s was flown to The Alfred hospital in what appeared to be a serious condition. It’s understood she suffered upper and lower body injuries in the crash.
A second woman, also in her 20s, was taken to The Alfred by road ambulance in a stable condition with upper body injuries.
The circumstances surrounding the collision are not yet known.
