A police spokesperson said the driver parked the vehicle on Montrose Street before getting out. The vehicle then started to roll downhill.

The driver attempted to get in the vehicle to apply the handbrake but it collided with a power pole, causing their arm to become stuck in the door.

A neighbour helped the driver get free of the vehicle. The driver was then conveyed to West Gippsland Regional Hospital with an injured arm.
