POLICE are investigating the cause of a crash on the Wimmera Highway on Saturday afternoon.
They are preparing to speak to the driver, who was injured.
Paramedics considered her to be in a critical condition initially but were able to stabilise her before taking her to Bendigo hospital.
She is understood to be roughly 30 years of age.
The Highway Patrol believes the driver was the sole occupant of the vehicle travelling west on the highway when her vehicle left the edge of the road.
It then veered back across both lanes and flipped, Senior Constable Brad Blackmore said.
The vehicle came to a rest 15 metres away from the road in a paddock.
Senior Constable Blackmore said Highway Patrol officers have so far spoken to all witnesses who were at the scene.
He planned to speak to the driver once she is considered well enough.
