He was transported by ambulance to South Gippsland Hospital in Foster and later by air ambulance to hospital in the Latrobe Valley.

Police attended the scene and interviewed the driver. He was released pending further inquiries. A number of witnesses at the scene were also interviewed, including the four passengers in the vehicle.
