The driver of the Mazda, a 42-year-old Armstrong Creek woman, was airlifted to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The male driver of the Commodore allegedly dumped the vehicle and fled on foot.

The male and female passengers of the Commodore, a 34-year-old man and 21-year-old woman from Grovedale, were both taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Police arrested a 23-year-old Whittington man yesterday afternoon.

He has been charged with dangerous driving causing serious injury and fail to assist in a serious injury collision.

He'll appear at Geelong Magistrates' Court later today, 6 August.
