“Rescuers made their way down to the vehicle and found the male had sustained moderate injuries. He was assisted up by rescuers to the top of the bank,” said Jamieson.
Shortly after, at the same location of the first crash, there was another accident where a vehicle crashed into a police vehicle.
“Paramedics are currently stabilising the policeman, who has sustained serious injuries,” said Jamieson.
