Melbourne Storm player Robbie Ross has been rushed to the hospital following a serious car accident early this morning. The incident occurred when Ross’s vehicle collided with a utility truck on the Princes Freeway near Footscray.
According to initial reports, Ross was driving home after a late training session when his car reportedly swerved to avoid an object on the road before hitting the truck. Emergency services arrived on the scene shortly after the accident and transported Ross to the hospital in critical condition.
The driver of the utility truck was treated at the scene for minor injuries and has since been released. Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the accident, but early indications suggest that adverse weather conditions and poor visibility might have played a role.
