Coldstream CFA got called out for a three-motor vehicle accident around the intersection of Victoria Road and Coldstream West Road on Saturday 20 April.
The accident happened around 1.30pm.
Coldstream CFA captain Sean Bethell said Victoria Police, Ambulance Victoria and SES were on the scene.
“By the looks of it, one vehicle was going straight through the intersection which had quite a heavy impact on the other car turning [into the intersection],” he said.
“No persons were trapped. All occupants removed themselves from the vehicles.
“No serious injuries. Two were taken to hospitals for observation.”
The captain said the intersection was dangerous.
“It’s just one of those accidents that are happening around that area,” Mr Bethell said.
“It’s very hard to see who’s coming over the hill.
“[I want to encourage everyone to] drive safely for the road conditions, and observe the speed limits and traffic signs.”
Coldstream CFA is calling for more volunteers to help the brigade.
“If there’s anyone in the estate around the Coldstream Fire Station that is interested in learning what we do, life skills and how to be a firefighter, and run to danger instead of running away from it, we’re always looking for new members,” the captain said.
“If anyone wants to drop in at the station anytime between 9.30 and 11.30 on a Sunday morning, come and have a chat and we’ll lead them in the right direction to becoming a firefighter.”
