Police plea over Elaine crash

POLICE are appealing for information from the public after a serious collision at Elaine on the Midland Highway.

The spreader was being towed by a tractor but was stationary at the time of the crash. 

The occupants of the car, both men in their 70s and from South Ballarat, were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. 

The driver of the tractor was unharmed. 

Police wish to speak to anyone who saw either vehicle before the collision or who witnessed the actual crash.
