The incident occurred before the Waterloo Road-Lloyd Street level crossing at the turning intersection, north of the railway line.
A 75-year-old Moe man was turning right after coming across the level crossing while a 25-year-old Cranbourne North man was coming from town on Waterloo Road with the intention of continuing through the intersection towards Trafalgar on the same road.
The latter failed to give way and t-boned the initial vehicle that pushed it into a third vehicle.
Victoria Police stated that the incident was not fatal or life threatening and that there was no serious injuries.
Two vehicles were towed from the scene with the offending driver issued a penalty notice for failure to give way.

After failing to stop for police, being an unaccompanied learner, and driving at excessive speed, the vehicle was impounded for a period of 30 days, at a cost of $1291.
The driver will be summonsed to attend court at a later date.
