Horror crash By JESSE GRAHAM AN HORRIFIC head-on crash on the Maroondah Highway yesterday left a driver in hospital and another fighting for life. At 7.50am on Monday, a 29-yearold Warburton woman driving a silver car towards Healesville, collided with another vehicle near Maxwells Road. Her car collided with a red Ford

Cougar, driven by a 43-year-old Healesville man. Both drivers ended up semi-conscious and trapped inside their vehicles. Emergency services responded in force, closing the Maroondah Highway and cutting the two drivers out of their cars, to be taken to hospital by two waiting helicopters.

The Warburton woman was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital with critical injuries to her head, a fractured leg and pelvis injuries. The Healesville man was taken to The Alfred hospital with leg fractures and pelvis injuries. The highway remained closed in both directions for about seven hours, while Victoria Police’s Major Collision

Unit assessed the scene and combed through debris. Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol Leading Senior Constable Andrew Shenton said police had evidence the silver car veered into the wrong lane. “For some reason, the silver car heading to Healesville has gone on the wrong side of the road ... and that’s the end result,” he said.

“We’re unsure as to why that’s happened - we’re not sure if she’s drifted across or attempted to overtake. “It’s not a spot where you’d think about overtaking.” LSC Shenton urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit a confidential report to www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
