A woman rolled her car after a tyre blowout on the Hume Freeway near Wangaratta about 3pm Monday.
It followed an incident 30 minutes earlier where a vehicle spun out after a blowout and hit guard rails.
Wangaratta Leading Senior Constable Gavin Frew said heat may have played a role.
He is encouraging people to have the age of their tyres checked, even if the tread is still good.
