Police are investigating a serious single vehicle traffic crash at King Island earlier today (Friday, 30 October) in which a mini-van rolled over and multiple passengers were injured.
Medical teams flying on the Westpac Rescue Helicopter from Hobart, and fixed wing aircraft form Air Ambulance Victoria, were deployed this afternoon to treat patients after the crash had been reported.
One patient was flown to The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne tonight in a serious condition, with two other patients transported to a different Melbourne hospital for treatment.
Other patients have been transferred to King Island District Hospital and Health Centre at Currie, where they continue to receive assistance and further treatment.
At this time, none of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening.
The incident happened about 4.20pm Friday when the van with 10 people on board was involved in a single vehicle crash on South Road, Pearshape, in the rural south of the island.
The group is believed to have been visitors to the island.
It is not yet known what caused the crash and police investigations are under way.
The crash scene is still being examined and South Road remains partially closed.
