Eastern Freeway reopens after serious smash forces closure
In-bound lanes on the Eastern Freeway have reopened after a 12 hour shutdown.
The freeway was closed in-bound near Bulleen Road after a crash that’s left two people fighting for life in hospital.
A white Subaru Impreza, which was carrying four people, smashed into a barrier on the Eastern Freeway, in-bound near Bulleen Road just before 11pm last night.
The impact of the crash was so great it dislodged a two tonne concrete barrier.
All four occupants were taken to hospital. Two of the four are in a critical condition.
The right in-bound and out-bound lanes remain closed, but all other lanes have now reopened.
Police would like to speak to anyone who saw the crash or has dash camera footage.
Press PLAY below for more.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or file a confidential report online at .
All inbound traffic on the Eastern Freeway is being diverted onto Doncaster Road due to a serious collision. Emergency services are on scene. Use Bulleen Road or Burke Road to re-enter the freeway or take the Maroondah Highway instead. Allow extra time. #victraffic pic.twitter.com/2p5uIaN6V8
