TODAY (October 31) at about 5:30pm, police from the Wonthaggi Police Station, along with paramedics from Ambulance Victoria, volunteer firefighters from Inverloch CFA and Wonthaggi CFA, and volunteer rescuers from SES Wonthaggi Unit responded to a single vehicle collision which occurred on Cape Paterson-Inverloch Road in Inverloch, near Eagles Nest.
It is believed that a 20-year-old male from Wonthaggi was driving a silver-coloured Holden Commodore sedan, and that the driver was the sole occupant of the vehicle.
It is further believed that the driver may have over corrected the vehicle due to oncoming traffic, which resulted in the vehicle losing control, rolling several times, and stopping when it impacted an embankment.
The driver was taken to Bass Coast Health (Wonthaggi) for assessment.
Investigations into the cause are ongoing, however vehicle speed and a wet road may have been a contributing factor.
The road was temporarily closed for a short period of time.
Any witnesses and those with dashcam footage in the vicinity at the time are urged to contact Wonthaggi Police.
Collisions such as this are avoidable, and police in Bass Coast and South Gippsland again ask all road users to slow down and drive according to the conditions.
