An Ambulance Victoria spokesman confirmed paramedics were called to the scene.

The scene is north west of Torquay and Forest Rd, like many in the area, is lined with eucalyptus trees on each side.

It remained shut into Wednesday evening.

Seven emergency vehicles were on scene as of 4pm, but that number had dwindled to just three an hour later.

“An investigation into the crash is ongoing,” a police spokesman said.
