A 54-year-old Ocean Grove man has been airlifted to the Royal Melbourne Hospital this morning after being stuck by a vehicle in Belmont.<\/p>\n

Emergency services attended the scene shortly after 11am, after a vehicle mounted the footpath on the corner of High Street and Roslyn Road and collided with a building, understood to be Bupa Dental.<\/p>\n

The 54-year-old man was standing at the dental practice\u2019s reception desk at the time of impact. A spokesperson for Victoria Police confirmed he is in a serious, but non-life-threatening condition.<\/p>\n

The driver of the vehicle, a 45-year-old Portarlington woman, was not injured and has since been arrested. She returned a positive preliminary breath test and was transported by road to University Hospital Geelong as a precaution.<\/p>\n

The incident is still under investigation and anyone with information that could assist investigators is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit crimestoppers.com.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n
