Emergency services worked quickly to free a driver after a tree fell on a ute at Williamstown this morning.
Just before 11.30am on Tuesday 8 July, a gum tree came down on top of a ute driving along Warren Road, Williamstown.
Members of the public, with a grader and chainsaws, assisted emergency crews to remove the tree from the roof of the ute and free the trapped driver and dog from the vehicle.
The driver was taken to hospital by ambulance in a serious condition. The dog appears to have escaped injury and is being cared for.
Emergency services then worked to clear the road.
Police thank the members of the public and local volunteers for their assistance in this matter.
