Holiday carnage: Four people killed in separate road incidents and child injured

It’s been a horror 24 hours on Victoria’s roads, with four people killed in two separate incidents and a three-year-old child injured.

Another four lives have been lost on Victoria’s roads this Christmas long weekend, with two separate fatal accidents leaving a trail of destruction.

Overnight two men aged 30 and 36 were killed in an incident in Chiltern, east of Wodonga.

Emergency services responded to the crash shortly after 9.15pm; however, neither men responded to treatment and both died at the scene.

Then on Monday morning, two women were killed when their vehicles collided head-on outside of Horsham.

One of the women died before emergency services had arrived, while a woman from the other vehicle died at the scene despite the efforts of paramedics.

Three other people were flown to hospital with serious injuries, including a three-year-old.

“In the South Australian registered vehicle there was two occupants and in the Victorian registered vehicle there was three,” a Victoria Police spokesperson told Nine News.

“That was the driver, the female passenger who sadly died, and a three-year old child.”

The incidents take the number of people killed on Victorian roads this year to 232, which is up on the 210 deaths last year.
