Smart summary
Tasmania Police are investigating a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Percival and Cotton Streets in Latrobe, with three people taken to hospital.
Tasmania Police are investigating a two-vehicle crash in Latrobe after three people were taken to hospital following a collision involving a black Ford Falcon sedan and a white Ford Ranger.
Police issued a call for information on Saturday, 19 September 2026, concerning the crash, which occurred at the intersection of Percival Street and Cotton Street in Latrobe on Friday evening. The incident involved two vehicles and resulted in all of the people involved being taken to hospital for medical treatment or observation.
The driver and sole occupant of the black Ford Falcon was taken to Royal Hobart Hospital for treatment. Two people travelling in the white Ford Ranger were transported to North West Regional Hospital, where they were receiving treatment and observation.
Tasmania Police said they are seeking information from members of the public who may have witnessed the Falcon being driven before the collision. Investigators are particularly interested in reports of an erratic-driving incident on Mersey Main Road between Spreyton and Latrobe at approximately 5pm on Friday, 18 September.
Police are asking anyone who may have seen the black Falcon during that period to come forward. Investigators are also seeking dashcam recordings and CCTV footage that could assist with establishing what happened before the crash.
The collision occurred in Latrobe, a town in Tasmania's north-west. The investigation is being handled by Tasmania Police, who are working to establish the circumstances surrounding the two vehicles' movements before the collision.
According to the police statement, the crash occurred at the intersection of Percival and Cotton Streets. The location is being examined as part of the investigation, while information from witnesses and available camera footage may help police reconstruct the events leading up to the collision.
Road crashes can require investigators to establish a sequence of events from multiple sources, including statements from drivers and witnesses, vehicle damage, road conditions and electronic or video evidence. In this case, police have specifically appealed for dashcam and CCTV material, suggesting that footage from the period before the collision could assist the investigation.
The police appeal also provides a timeline for people who may have information. Investigators are interested in observations made around 5pm on Friday, when the black Falcon was reportedly travelling along Mersey Main Road between Spreyton and Latrobe. Anyone who was travelling through the area at the time may have relevant information or footage.
The condition of the people involved was not fully detailed in the police statement beyond confirming that the Falcon driver was receiving treatment at Royal Hobart Hospital and that the two people in the Ranger were taken to North West Regional Hospital for treatment and observation.
Police have asked people with information to contact Tasmania Police on 131 444 and quote reference ESCAD 000344-18092026.
The investigation remains ongoing, and police are continuing to seek information that could help clarify the circumstances surrounding the Latrobe collision.
