Crightons Hill claims another driver

EMERGENCY services responded to two car accidents in South Gippsland last week.
Leongatha Police attended an accident at Crightons Hill on the Strzelecki Highway, Leongatha on Wednesday morning.
A 40 year old Korumburra man lost control of his car on the way to Mirboo North around 10.40am.
Police said the driver crossed over the right side of the road and hit the guard rail. The car bounced off the rail and hit the back of a milk tanker.
The truck received only minor damage, however the Korumburra man sustained minor injuries and was taken to Leongatha Hospital for observation but was not admitted.
The cause of the accident is unknown, however wet and windy conditions may have been a factor in the crash, police said.
Police said the car was not roadworthy. Police are investigating whether or not its condition may have played part in the crash.
Police also attended an accident on Friday morning when a 19 year old Waratah North woman crashed her car on Commercial Street in Korumburra.
The driver lost concentration while driving at 7.45am and hit the median strip outside The Middle Hotel, taking out a street sign before running into a tree.
Police and paramedics attended the scene. Police said while the young driver did not have any injuries, she did return a blood alcohol reading of .067.
The P plater was fined $467 and has had her license suspended for six months.
