After a tram with 30 passengers on board was derailed by a cement truck, two persons were taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
At about 10.45 am on Friday, emergency services were summoned to the junction of Elizabeth and A’Beckett streets in Melbourne’s central business district.
It is believed that the tram derailed as a result of the cement truck colliding with its side.
