A three-year-old girl was allgedly ejected from the vehicle, and was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The other two female passengers, aged 10 and five, were also taken to hospital as a precaution.

The driver, a 32-year-old Mickleham man, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
