TWO WOMEN and two children have been taken to hospital after a serious car crash this morning in Gruyere.
Emergency crews were called out to the corner of Gruyere and Killara roads on Wednesday 22 April, where the two cars are reported to have hit each other.
A Victoria Police spokesperson said one of the cars, driven by a 27-year-old Gruyere woman, was pulling out of a driveway, when it was hit by another car, driven by a 30-year-old Wattle Glen woman travelling along Gruyere Road at 8.43am.
The Wattle Glen driver was trapped in her car for 40 minutes, according to a CFA spokesperson.
Two air ambulances were sent to the scene of the crash, along with road ambulances, and both of the women were flown to hospital in Melbourne, most likely the Royal Melbourne Hospital.
The Gruyere driver is believed to have chest injuries from the crash and her two children, a daughter and son aged 8 and 2, were taken to Maroondah Hospital by ambulance with minor injuries.
