Scott Morrison’s dedicated security team have been involved in a serious car crash.  

The Prime Minister who is currently campaigning in Tasmania, was not in the vehicle which collided with another car near Elizabeth Town on Thursday afternoon.  

Luckily, no one was killed.

The security team were in transit when they were hit by the other car, which saw their vehicle roll onto an embankment and flip onto its side.

The four men – two from Tasmania Police and two from the Australian Federal Police – were all transferred to hospital.  

The driver of the other vehicle was not injured in the crash.  

A spokesperson from Mr Morrison’s office confirmed the men were conscious with the prime minister being updated of their condition.  

“Family members of the officers have been contacted and are being kept informed of their condition,” they said.

“The PM is always extremely grateful for the protection provided by his security team and extends his best wishes for their recovery and to their families.

“This afternoon’s event has been cancelled.”

Mr Morrison was at Brunie for a defence industries event when the collision occurred.  

The event was immediately cancelled with Mr Morrison and his press team taken back to the airport.  

On Thursday afternoon, the prime minister released a statement sending well wishes to the officers.

“Earlier this afternoon two of my protective detail, along with two Tasmanian police officers were involved in a terrible car accident, while they were supporting my visit to Northern Tasmania,” he wrote.  

“I am relieved they have all been safely transferred to hospital where they are receiving care.

“Our police do an amazing job in keeping us all safe. I am incredibly grateful to all the police who look after me and my family.  

“We have all got to know each other over the year. They are selfless, professional and incredibly generous. I hope to hear further good news about their condition.

“Jen and I also send our thanks, love and best wishes to them and their families.”

Opposition leader Anthony Alabanese also thanked the officers for their incredible work.

“Best wishes to the @AusFedPolice and @TasmaniaPolice personnel assisting the PM who were involved in the car crash in Tasmania today. They do a fantastic job and I wish all a speedy recovery,” he tweeted.
