Emergency services responded to a two-car and small truck collision at the junction of Eastern Beach Road and Bellarine Street around 11 am.
A female passenger, believed to be in her 80s and traveling in one of the cars, had to be extricated from the vehicle before being transported to the hospital with suspected life-threatening injuries.
The male driver of the same car also sustained injuries and has been conveyed to the hospital for medical attention.
