Major delays on St Kilda Rd after tram smash THE driver of a tram which rear-ended another tram in Melbourne's inner-south this morning has been taken to hospital. Yarra Trams spokesman Simon Murphy said a tram crashed into the back of another tram while both were travelling towards the CBD on St Kilda Rd, Southbank just before 8am. The accident occurred near the Southbank Boulevard intersection. Ambulance Victoria spokesman Rob Clancy said one person - identified by police as the female driver of the back tram - was taken to The Alfred Hospital with minor injuries. No serious injuries were reported, but four others sustained minor injuries and were treated at the scene. Mr Murphy said damage to the trams involved and the cause of the smash were still being assessed. St Kilda Rd trams were diverted via Southbank Boulevard/Kings Way in both directions for about 50 minutes while the accident was cleared, causing major delays on several Yarra Trams lines during peak hour. Mr Murphy said trams were due to be running as normal by about 9am.
