Holy shit! Hopefully the chopper gets them to hospital quickly.
Thought it was bad enough as it was then found out it was a motorcyclist. Oof… Hope they recover swiftly
As bad as this seems, it probably means that they are still alive. They don’t send out helicopters for corpses. I’m wishing them a good recovery.
Hope whoever that heli came for makes it, you know it’s real sht when this happens.
Out of curiosity, will you be billed for hospital air lifts or does Medicare cover that?
TAC pays I assume?
Shit. Which way’s that heading? Inbound or outbound?
Wonder what caused it, feel like I’m seeing increasing amounts of reckless driving nowadays
Any update on the Monash closures? Is the freeway back open outbound?
Hope people are ok 🤞🧡

Went past shortly after seen lots of blood, hope the guy makes a full recovery
Melb idiots drivers
Is this outbound?
Heli landed in front of me. There was so much blood near the motorcycle. Hope the rider lives/recovers.
To all motorcyclists, please, please wear a full face helmet and full gear. My friend was the person to answer the 000 call, the person was wearing an open face helmet and their face is apparently absolutely cooked. Please be safe out there, drivers don’t look for us
It took me 2.5 hours to get home. I have never see traffic that bad before. I knew it had to be something serious, kept telling myself not to complain because someone is probably in a worse off position. Hope they recover. Scary stuff
In the jam right now. it is fucked..
This accident was right after it splits into south gippy, Outbound. It was bad as far as I could tell. I rode past it on my bike twice, The first time it must of just happened and I was on the same side.
He was lying there not moving with people around (I assume nurses/medical professionals involved or near), Quite a bit of blood was already pooling beneath his helmet. he had a nice shiny cruiser.
On my way back (20ish minutes later), They had 4 ambulances and the meds were working on him on the ground still. I assume they were waiting for the heli.
As a fellow rider I really hope he’s okay, It did not feel good to ride past at all. I think he was wearing gear, but regardless. Please wear it guys.
I drove past it probably 2 minutes after it happened.
Just on the exit to the M420.
A motorcyclist and Ute seemed to have collided. The motorcyclist was -severely- injured with members of the public stopped and tending. No ambo on the scene at that point.
I was horrified and have thought about it since.
It was a guy on a Harley., hopefully he had gear on. It’s a busy road with a lot of lane changing at that location. Hope he’s ok.
I’m in Gippsland and my town is underneath the flight path of the ambulance chopper. It flies over many times each week unfortunately.
Was so keen for a chill run home with more people on trains ffs
My god, have never seen them land a helicopter on freeway for this, rider must have been extremely bad shape.
Another crash on my detour

Traffic gonna be fuckedddddd
One of my biggest fears on the road are motorcyclists. Not because they’re bad drivers but because one wrong move from either of us could get them killed. I hope they recover quickly and I’m so glad no one died 🙏 thoughts go out to the family and the drivers too
Oh man this happened only meters away from me, I was on one of the left lanes heading towards the Western Port Highway, heard a loud bang and when turned to see what happened, saw the guy on the motorbike (Harley looking one) landing on his back and already without a helmet, face was already bloody, very gruesome scene… there were 2 other cars involved but unsure how it happened
Always a motorcyclist.
I got a phone call from one friend, wasn’t me and im safe.
This dude can park wherever he wants ♥️
Never in my life would I expect a helicopter ambulance to be on the highway.
