A woman has been injured in a collision on the Metropolitan Ring Road at Thomastown this morning.
Advanced life support paramedics from Thomastown and Preston, intensive care paramedics from Campbellfield, a single responder intensive care paramedic and a paramedic team manager were called to the Ring Road near Mahoneys Road just before nine o’clock.
Paramedic team manager Ron McLeod says a woman was hurt when her car ran into the back of a semi trailer.
‘The car hit the back of the semi trailer, and ended up wedged under it right up to the car’s windscreen,’ he said.
‘The 38 year-old woman who was driving has some neck and back pain.
‘As a precaution, advanced life support paramedics put a neck brace on her and strapped her to a spineboard.
‘She was given some pain relief through an inhaler.
‘The woman was taken to Royal Melbourne Hospital in a stable condition,’ Mr McLeod said.
