Police said a ute driven by a Zeerust man, 47, was travelling west on the Midland Hwy and turning right into Brewer Rd, when it and another ute — driven by an Katunga man, 18 — travelling east on the Midland Hwy, collided.

Police said the Zeerust man received minor injuries in the crash and was taken to Goulburn Valley Health by ambulance for assessment.

The Katunga man was not injured.
