Geelong Highway Patrol is appealing for witnesses and dash cam footage as officers investigate two separate collisions in Geelong on Tuesday.
The first incident occurred on Melbourne Road, near Victoria Street, in North Geelong about 12.25pm on Tuesday, March 8.
A Victoria Police spokesperson said officers had been told a truck was carrying a trailer when it collided with the rear of a black Mercedes Benz travelling southbound.
The Mercedes then crashed into the back of a white Skoda.
The driver and sole occupant of the Mercedes, a 55-year-old woman, was trapped before being taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
No one else was injured during the collision.
The driver of the truck stopped at the scene and assisted police with enquiries.
The spokesperson said the second incident occurred on the Geelong Ring Road, near the Barwon River overpass, in Highton about 4.50pm.
Police believed a white Ford ute and a blue Volkswagen ute collided while travelling southbound.
The white ute subsequently crashed into the road’s centre wire barriers.
Police said neither driver was injured during the incident.
Police are hoping to speak with the driver of an unknown white prime mover truck who may have dash cam footage of the incident.
Geelong Highway Patrol is investigating the circumstances surrounding both collisions and investigators are keen to speak to any witnesses or anyone with dash cam footage.
Anyone with information that could assist is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or file a confidential crime report at crimestoppersvic.com.au
