At approximately 10:10 PM, a Mercedes-Benz travelling south on Forest Lake Boulevard collided with a Toyota Landcruiser at the intersection of Renoir Crescent.

The impact of the crash resulted in significant injuries to all involved.

The driver of the Mercedes-Benz, a 28-year-old man, along with his three passengers — two men aged 22 and a 20-year-old woman — sustained serious injuries and were promptly transported to hospital for treatment.

The 52-year-old woman driving the Toyota Landcruiser was also critically injured and remains hospitalised.
