At least four people were rushed to the hospital on an emergency basis after Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s security vehicle was involved in a horrifying car crash.
According to local media reports, the security car was directly behind the Prime Minister’s main vehicle when all of a sudden, it crashed while traveling on the campaign trail.
Sources revealed how the car was filled with security officers and four of them were severely injured and rushed to the hospital, moments after the terrifying accident that took place in Tasmania.
Awfully dramatic images from the scene are now emerging where the vehicle can be seen in a smashed state and flipped to one side.
Thankfully, the Australian Prime Minister was said to be safe after the startling incident as his own personal vehicle was not involved. However, he did pay tribute to the officers that were critically wounded as a result of the collision.
The flipped vehicle lay on its side in a giant field near Elizabeth Town, just a little distance off the Bass Highway.
At least two of the four officers injured were also seen getting emergency treatment by Paramedics staff located near the vehicle.
At the moment, police claim to be investigating the incident where they claim a Mitsubishi Triton had rammed into the unmarked police car that was provided for the Prime Minister’s protection.
All of a sudden, the vehicle rolled down and came to a stop on its side, after the collision.
Meanwhile, initial inquiries have gone on to reveal how the Triton that collided with the back end of the security was trying to make a turn, as confirmed by the Tasmanian police officials.
A total of two male police officers and two officers hailing from the federal police were rushed to the hospital on an emergency basis but are said to be out of danger.
After the incident, the Prime Minister is said to have postponed his events of the election campaign for day four.
