Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives were expected to attend the scene again on Sunday to continue the investigation.

Three other people have died in road incidents over the weekend.

“I know Victoria Police are out there doing their best, but it is for all of us to slow down,” Mr Andrews said.

“Getting where you need to go … safely, that is the main thing.”
