Police will investigate whether speed was a factor in the crash.

The single-vehicle crash happened about 2pm on Eaglehawk Road in Long Gully.

After being closed for close to an hour, the Bendigo-bound lanes on Eaglehawk Road are now open to traffic.

"Near the intersection of McGowan Street a blue Ford laser has left road and collided with a curb, then travelled 31 metres down the road," Sergeant Mick McCrann said.

"It's then struck a tree and rolled over. Two occupants were initially trapped inside. A 46-year-old male from Kennington - the driver - has been conveyed to the Bendigo Hospital, as well as his passenger - another male.

"At this stage they're not listed as critical (injuries)."

Sergeant McCrann said police had started looking into what caused the crash, including viewing some security footage.

"At this stage I am somewhat relieved to see that the injuries are not more serious," he said.

"I can't see any mechanical issues with the car initially so our investigation would look towards, maintaining control of the vehicle, drugs and alcohol."
