It appears that a Holden Rodeo utility was travelling in an easterly direction. As it went to negotiate a slight left hand curve, it has crossed the separation lines and collided head on into a commodore sedan travelling west.
The holden rodeo was occupied by only the driver, whilst the commodore was occupied by the driver and a passenger in the front seat.
Both vehicles were severely damaged with the occupants of both vehicles being trapped.
All three occupants were trapped in the vehicles for a lengthy period of time prior to being able to be released by emergency rescue units.
