Police are still investigating a crash in Wendouree last night after a police chase.
Police say three people were taken to hospital as a result of the crash about 7pm, two of them from the car involved in the chase.
Another person, a woman in her 70s that was not involved in the chase was also taken to hospital.
Police have arrested the driver of the offending vehicle, who remains under police guard in hospital.
Police are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the collision to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppers.com.au.
FIRE
No quiet night Sunday night for our firefighters.
As well as two false alarms at the Ballarat Grammar Boatshed (10.36pm) and the Queen Elizabeth Centre (5.11am), night shift crews also battled a grass fire in Mitchell Park.
The fire at the Ring Road Reserve in Mitchell Park, believed to have been deliberately lit, took some time to control, despite the cool night.
It caused some reasonable damage, according to Ballarat City Fire Brigade senior station officer Neville Collins, although there were never any houses under threat.
AMBULANCE
Ambulance Victoria says it transported four people to hospital after the collision, all of which were in a stable condition.
A fifth person, a male in his 70s, received minor medical treatment at the scene of the crash.
