Van ends on side in multi-vehicle crash

Police said a silver Holden Astra travelling north on the Goulburn Valley Hwy and a white van travelling south on the highway collided as the van went to turn right into River Rd.

The vehicles were then pushed into a ute that was stationary on River Rd, police said.

The van ended up on its side after the collision.

A Seymour child in the Astra was taken to hospital by ambulance in a stable condition after being treated for upper body injuries.

A 27-year-old Seymour woman in the same vehicle was also taken to Goulburn Valley Health by ambulance for observation.

There was also another child in the vehicle.

Police said the driver of the ute, a woman in her 20s who was not injured in the crash, helped direct traffic before police arrived.

Emergency services, including police, ambulance and the fire brigade, attended the scene.

North-bound traffic on the Goulburn Valley Hwy was diverted along the eastern section of River Rd for about an hour, while south-bound traffic on the highway was also slowed.

River Rd on the western side was also closed to traffic for an hour while police investigated and the scene was cleared.

All roads were re-opened about noon.

Police said the van driver, a 56-year-old from the Melbourne suburb of West Meadows, would be fined for failing to give way.

It is the second crash involving multiple vehicles at the same intersection in eight days.

In the other crash, on March 30, a silver Commodore travelling west on River Rd allegedly failed to give way as it crossed the highway about 2pm.

It and a white Honda Jazz, which was travelling south on the Goulburn Valley Hwy, collided.

The cars then pushed into a third vehicle that was stationary at the intersection on the eastern side of River Rd.
