On Wednesday 8th February, at approx. 21:00 HRS, South Barwon SES Volunteers were called to a car accident with persons trapped on the Barwon Heads Rd, near Breamlea Rd in Connewarre.
Once on scene SES were met with a single car that had rolled several times, trapping the driver in the vehicle.

“The impact of this collision has been quite significant. SES and CFA Rescue crews have worked extremely hard for approx 30 mins to assist Ambulance Victoria to extricate the patient" Mr Hutton said.
