The driver and front passenger of the Polestar — a 27-year-old woman and a 59-year-old woman — were treated on-site for minor injuries before being taken to hospital.

A crime scene has been established, and investigations are ongoing.

Drivers were advised to avoid the area, as the Great Western Hwy was closed in both directions. It has since reopened.
