Two female youths, a 16-year-old from Lilydale and a 20-year-old from Marysville were airlifted to hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries after being run over by a runaway car at the Alexandra Speedway at about 10.15pm last night.
It’s believed an unoccupied vehicle began rolling down a hill, running over two spectators at the Alexandra Speedway on Gordon Street.
The vehicle came to a stop after hitting a Winnebago.
The vehicle owner, an 18-year-old Wandin North man, was interviewed in relation to the incident and released pending further enquiries.
Mansfield Highway Patrol will investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Correction: This article was amended at 3.30pm to reflect the fact the incident occurred at the Alexandra Speedway, not the Alexandra Truck, Ute & Rod Show as reported earlier.
Why wait ’till Wednesday for outdated newspapers?
