A 52-year-old Kallista man has being taken to Maroondah Hospital after crashing his car into a fence in Healesville today, Wednesday.
Police have been told the man had a medical incident near the corner of Maroondah Highway and Healesville-Kinglake Road, swerving off of the road, driving through the intersection and into the fence, about 12.30pm.
The black ute he was driving was extensively damaged at the front, and paramedics attended the scene to treat the man.
Yarra Glen Police Leading Senior Constable Glen Piper told the Mail that the man was not injured in the crash, but was being taken to Maroondah Hospital for observation.
LSC Piper said the man had been feeling faint due to a lack of blood sugar, and could not remember the incident.
“He thought he’d had enough sugar this morning, but he hadn’t,” LSC Piper said.
“Driving through Healesville is all he remembers.
“It’s lucky he didn’t hit another car.”
The scene of the crash has been cleared and the intersection is open to traffic.
