Police are trying to establish what happened in an eight-hour window which left three teenagers and a woman in her 30s dead in a 'really traumatic and destructive' car smash in Victoria. 9News
Assistant Commissioner for Road Policing Glenn Weir said the car was "obviously travelling at extremely high speed" down a very narrow road when the driver lost control and smashed into a tree.
The crash scene was so horrific that police said it was too soon to confirm who was driving the car or how many, if any, had been wearing seat belts. Police initially believed the four people killed were all local teenage girls. They revised the details this morning to two teenage boys and two teenage girls before providing a further change this afternoon.
At the crash scene, heartbreaking notes scribbled on the seats of the wreckage, one reading "love people, help people".Weir described the Wannon-Nigretta Falls Road as "an English lane-type road where you have to sort of pull to the side to let other traffic come", making it poorly suited to speeding cars.It is believed the teenage victims were students at Baimbridge College in Hamilton.
