5 Australians killed in car crash in Victoria

A fiery car crash happened on Saturday in Victoria of Australia, killing five people and critically injured one woman, police confirmed. A truck on Saturday afternoon burst into flames after it collided with a car in Victoria's western district. The truck driver in his late 30s, was killed when his truck burst into flames. Four people in the car, believed to be two men and two women, died on the scene, while a fifth woman was taken to hospital in Melbourne. She was trapped in the car for about an hour. According to Victoria Police Deputy Commissioner Kieran Walshe, officers at the scene of the fiery crash are horrified by the deaths. "Our police working at the scene are finding it very difficult to describe the horror that is before their eyes," he told reporters in Melbourne on Saturday. "There's no doubt this collision is going to have an immeasurable impact on a number of families and a number of communities." Walshe said it is too early to determine what caused the accident, and police will soon conduct investigation. The car crash is the second major accident happened in Australia this weekend, after three people died when a car carrying nine people rolled in the Northern Territory on Friday night. Also, a 17-year-old driver died in a single car crash in Melbourne's east earlier on Saturday.
