IN the early evening on Tuesday, April 7, a collision occurred at Cottons Pinch on the Goulburn Valley Highway, between Yea and Molesworth.
A ute was travelling in a south westerly direction and merging after overtaking. They didn’t see that they hadn’t cleared a heavy rigid tip truck and clipped the front aluminium bumper. This caused the ute to close control.
The ute spun and hit the wire rope barrier before rolling onto its roof and sliding for some distance.
The driver of the ute, a 76 year old male, and the passenger in the ute, an 86 year old female, sustained some cuts and grazes but fortunately no other injuries.
They were airlifted to the Royal Melbourne Hospital. The man was released from hospital today (Wednesday) and the woman is expected to be released tomorrow. Both are doing well.
There were no issues with the driver of the tip truck, and they helped to direct traffic while emergency services were on the way.
The emergency services in attendance included multiple ambulances and MICA vehicles, CFA units from Yea, Molesworth and Whanregarwen, and police from Yea and Marysville.

Sadly, we are not waking up to the Easter morning we had hoped for.
We are incredibly disappointed to report that within the last 48 hours, the Terip Terip CFA Station was broken into and robbed of vital life-saving equipment.
It is deeply disheartening to see this happen to a community that recently faced the devastating Longwood fire and is still working hard to rebuild and recover.
Our volunteers give so much—leaving their own families and properties during those fires, with some even losing their own homes. Waking up to find the station targeted and stripped of the very tools used to keep the community safe is a significant blow to morale today.
Much of the equipment taken was generously gifted to the Terip Brigade by others to help rebuild capacity after the fires. The stolen items include:
▫️ 1x Stihl MS391 FarmBoss chainsaw
▫️ 2x Chainsaws donated by the Yarck recovery hub
▫️ 1x Aussie quickfill pump with Honda motor - Model: QP-205SE/GX160P - Serial number: 1918074 (donated by the Christmas Hills CFA Brigade)
▫️ 1x Davey quickfill pump with Honda motor - Model: G8016-1 - Serial number: 07029 112052 (donated by the Christmas Hills CFA Brigade)
▫️ Jerry cans containing fuel
▫️ 1x Stihl RE108 Presssue Washer
▫️ 2x brand new GME TX6165 UHF handheld radios
▫️ 1x Stanley 2000kva generator
▫️ 1x Honda Brushcutter
▫️ 1x Starlink Mini
▫️ 1x Stihl chainsaw helmet
▫️ 1x Toolbag containing assorted tools
▫️ 1x Large set of boltcutters
This equipment isn't just gear—it is community property used to protect lives and homes. Seeing it taken from the volunteers who rely on it to help others is incredibly frustrating.
We need your help. Please share this post far and wide. If you saw anything suspicious around the Terip Terip fire station over the last 48 hours, or if you see this specific gear popping up for sale online or in the community, please do the right thing.
Contact Crime Stoppers Victoria on 1800 333 000 or make a report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au/report-a-crime/ with any information.
