UPDATE 4.25pm:
A sedan ended up crashing into a Redan unit after it was hit by a ute, according to Victoria Police.
Ballarat Highway Patrol officers are investigating the crash, where it's believed a Mazda utility collided with a Toyota about 2.50pm, causing the Toyota to crash into the house.
A woman was at home at the time but was not injured, while a man and a woman inside the Toyota were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The 19-year-old ute driver is assisting police with enquiries, and anyone with dashcam footage is urged to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
A Fire Rescue Victoria spokesperson confirmed crews were on the scene within six minutes.
"Firefighters worked to secure the scene and extract two passengers from the car," they said in a statement.
"The scene was declared under control at 3:43pm."
Just after the crash, a second collision occurred in Mitchell Park at a notorious Ring Road intersection.
