SERIOUS: Driver of the ute which rolled six times is taken on a stretcher to an ambulance.

SERIOUS: Driver of the ute which rolled six times is taken on a stretcher to an ambulance.

A man watched in horror as a ute clipped the front of his car and rolled six times into a paddock.

Sven Hanne was driving north on SH3 towards Maxwell when the ute began to over-take him at around 3.45pm Friday.

"He cut in too early and hit the front corner of my car. I slammed on the breaks and watched him roll six times right in front of me," Mr Hanne said.

Three ambulances, two police cars and two fire trucks arrived at the scene shortly after.

Mr Hanne is the chief executive of the Stratford District Council. In the car with Mr Hanne was the Stratford Deputy Mayor Alan Jamieson. They were returning in a council vehicle from a local government meeting.

Senior sergeant, Colin Wright, said the man driving the ute was taken to hospital in a serious condition.

"The ambulance guys said it was serious but it did not appear to be life threatening," Mr Wright said.

Mr Hanne said the ute driver broke through the fence on the left-hand side of the road.

"There were tools scattered all over the paddock but luckily there was no one else in the car with him.

"He seemed to have a few broken bones but was just conscious when we saw him," Mr Hanne said.

The road remained open with police signalling traffic to pass with care.

Mr Wright said police will investigate the crash before deciding if charges would follow.
