Man hurt in Kotta car crash

‘‘He ran off the road ... suffering non-life threatening injuries and causing damage to the front end of the vehicle,’’ Sergeant Paul Nicoll of Campaspe Highway Patrol said.

‘‘The cause is still being investigated.’’

Echuca-Moama Search and Rescue spent about an hour trying to free the man who was conscious but extensively trapped.

An air ambulance helicopter flew the man to the Royal Melbourne Hospital in a serious condition with suspected pelvis and hip injuries.

Police and CFA crews also attended the accident.
