A multi-car collision left one person trapped in their vehicle for at least 50 minutes, three people hospitalised, and caused a main road in Geelong’s north to be closed during morning peak hour traffic.

Emergency services were called to Bacchus Marsh Rd near the intersection with Frys Rd about 6.20am on Wednesday.
