A DRIVER has died in a horror collision that saw a street sweeper mount and flatten a car in Gippsland this morning.
The driver – who is yet to be identified – was travelling along the South Gippsland Fwy at Foster, about 174km south east of Melbourne, when it collided with another car and a street sweeper just after 8am.
Ambulance Victoria spokesman John Mullen said paramedics were called to the three-vehicle smash at 8.04am
He said emergency services were still working to extract the deceased driver from the badly damaged car.
“Somehow this truck has gone over and ended up on top of a car and the person in the car is deceased. That person is severely trapped in the car,” he said.
“They’re trying to work everything out at the moment; everything is still fairly blocked down there.”
The driver of the third car sustained a leg injury and has been transferred to the South Gippsland Hospital in a stable condition.
The truck driver is being treated for shock and has been transferred to the Leongatha Memorial Hospital.
Victoria Police spokeswoman Senior Constable Melissa Seach confirmed the driver of the car had died in the crash.
