Crash leaves Geelong boy, 14, hospitalised

A 14-year-old Geelong boy is in a critical condition after a crash at Stonehaven on Monday afternoon.

An air ambulance flew him to Royal Children’s Hospital with serious injuries following the two-car collision on Hamilton Hwy about 2.30pm on Monday.

Geelong Highway Patrol Sergeant Darren Murphy said the teenager was a front passenger in a vehicle travelling east-bound when it crashed into another car heading west.

The teenager suffered severe chest injuries and was in a serious, but stable condition, according to Ambulance Victoria.

But a Royal Children’s Hospital spokesperson told the Indy about 5pm on Monday the boy was in a critical condition.

The driver of the same car, a Bannockburn man in his 50s has suffered facial and back injuries.

Paramedics were also assessing a 30-year-old Inverleigh man from from the other vehicle for injuries.

An ambulance took both men to University Hospital Geelong as police investigated the cause of the crash.

Police urged anyone with information or dash cam footage to phone Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
