It was a lucky escape for the occupants of two vehicles after a car clipped a caravan on the Hume Fwy around 4pm on Monday, January 2, causing it to flip on to its side.
The incident occurred in the southbound lanes of the Hume Fwy between the Benalla and Baddaginnie turn-offs.
Leading Senior Constable Mick Desailly said the car collided with the rear corner of the caravan.
“That caused the caravan to lose control and go on to its side,” Sen Constable Desailly said.
“The ute towing it also went on to its side, but luckily there were no injuries, just a huge traffic delay.”
One southbound lane was closed for two and a half hours, with queues stretching back as far as the Mansfield Rd overpass.
Sen Sgt Desailly urged drivers to be careful on the road.
“Slow down, pay attention and get a good night’s sleep before you leave for a long journey,” he said.
