Overview
- A family car failed to stop at the T-intersection of Heads Road and Koo Wee Rup‑Longwarry Road, crossed the junction, left the road, went down an embankment and rolled into a drainage culvert just before midnight.
- All four occupants, a father, mother and two daughters, were taken to hospital with the mother and a daughter in their 20s transferred to the Alfred Hospital and the father and the other daughter treated at Frankston.
- The woman in her 20s remains in life-threatening critical condition and her mother has serious head injuries while the driver and the other daughter have less severe injuries.
- Victoria Police’s Major Collision Investigation Unit and forensic crash investigators are examining the scene, have spoken with the father in hospital and have appealed for witnesses and any footage to be given to Crime Stoppers.
- Local residents say the T-intersection is hazardous and police warned drivers to slow for foggy country conditions, a situation that could prompt renewed calls for signage, road changes or further safety checks in the area.
