The incident occurred around 8.50am on Wednesday 2 November at the intersection of David Road and Swansea Road, blocking one lane of traffic heading towards Mount Evelyn.
Paramedics and SES crews from Lilydale responded to the call of a person trapped in one of the vehicles.
“A woman in her 80s was taken to Maroondah Hospital in a stable condition with upper body injuries,” an Ambulance Victoria spokesperson said.
