Police are investigating after a vehicle heading east along the McIvor Highway crashed into a car trying to turn right.
The light had just turned amber when the crash occurred and officers were still to determine exactly who was at fault, Senior Constable Levina Bell said.
Regardless, it was a timely reminder to motorists to give way to oncoming traffic when turning at intersections, even if traffic lights had turned amber.
"And of course there's always that person in a hurry to get somewhere else," Senior Constable Bell said.
Emergency crews have cleared the scene.
