“It’s believed at this early stage a truck collided with a kindergarten on Main Road around 2.20pm,” Victoria Police said in a statement.

“One ******, who is yet to be formally identified, has ***** at the scene.

“A child was injured and has been taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

“The driver of the truck has also been taken to hospital for observation. The exact circumstances are being investigated.”

A worker at a nearby business said she could see some parents outside the school, but no children.

The woman, who did not want to be named, believed a white sedan had struck a power pole outside the school.
