Assistant Commissioner Glenn Weir has urged drivers to take care to prevent a repeat of last September when 28 people died on Victoria’s roads.
Police believe a car driver made an error, causing a collision with a truck which claimed the lives of four people on the Hume Freeway near the Victoria-NSW border on Wednesday.
“He [the truck driver] was just doing his job and unfortunately, for whatever reason, the driver [of the car] has made the decision to pull out in front of a B-double on the freeway in a 110km/h zone,” Weir said. Victoria Police issued an urgent safety warning for the month ahead, due to 28 road deaths in September last year - the highest number of fatalities recorded for the month in 16 years.
