Police attended the scene of a minor motor vehicle collision involving four vehicles on the corner of White Avenue and Ritana Road at 3.38pm on Friday.

A 31-year-old Mount Gambier woman is believed to have caused the collision by rear-ending one vehicle which then shunted another in front, causing that motor vehicle to hit another which made contact with the fourth vehicle.

There were no serious injuries from the collision with minor panel and radiator damage to the vehicles.
