A woman injured in a car crash in regional Victoria got help from an unlikely source - the Victorian premier.
Dr Denis Napthine was dropping someone off at the airport near Warrnambool on Sunday when he came across a car crash.
An ambulance arrived shortly after and Dr Napthine, who is a veterinarian, helped paramedics get the injured woman onto a slide and out of the hatchback.
"A very minor role but I was pleased to assist," Dr Napthine told reporters on Monday.
The premier praised the work of the state's emergency services.
"They were good, professional ambulance officers, like our paramedics across Victoria, doing a terrific job, [and] the police were there doing their job," he said.
"I think the person who got the biggest fright was the lady herself, who said, `Oh, oh, I've got the premier here to help me'."
