Two Road Rescues

BMSES Rescue crews have responded to two road rescue incidents within 12 hours.

Just after 1:30am on Saturday 3 September, they responded to a car rollover on Gisborne Road in front of their headquarters.

The single occupant of this vehicle was able to self-extricate before being transported to hospital.

At 11:30am on Saturday 3 September they then responded to a three-vehicle collision on Bacchus Marsh Road at Balliang.

A total of three adults and six children were assessed by emergency services on scene with ambulance crews transporting two patients.

Bacchus Marsh SES said it is a timely reminder to “take care on our roads.”

“Take a break, don’t rush and drive to the conditions,” a spokesperson said.
