Mother, daughter survive crash
EMERGENCY services were called to Nerrena last Wednesday when a car veered off the road and into a paddock.
The vehicle was carrying a mother and her five year old daughter when it lost control at the intersection of Nerrena and Christoffersens roads.
Police said the vehicle hit a ditch, drove through a barrier and down the bank of the road into a paddock below.
While the daughter was easily removed from the crash and sustained no injuries, emergency services spent over half an hour cutting the woman free from the vehicle.
Both passengers were admitted to Dandenong Hospital. The woman sustained minor injuries.
Emergency services have warned of a traffic hazard as the barrier along Nerrena Road now has a gap.
Police are investigating whether or not speed was a factor in the single car collision and are urging drivers to slow down, especially in wet or foggy conditions.
Lucky escape: emergency services worked to free the driver of the vehicle who was trapped for over half an hour after veering off Nerrena Road, Nerrena, last Wednesday.
