An Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman said that he was taken to Ararat Hospital in a stable condition with lower-body injuries.
Sergeant Peter Young, of Stawell Police, said it appeared that a "nose-to-tail" happened between the cars at 2.20pm and then a truck side-swiped the accident in progress.
It was likely that the truck driver was not aware the crash was happening and continued driving, Sgt Young said.
