Two people have been killed in a head-on collision between two vehicles in Australia’s Melbourne on Monday, the police said.
A police statement said that the two vehicles collided at an intersection in the suburb of Clayton South, 20 km southeast of central Melbourne.
The two drivers, a male and a female who were the sole occupants of each vehicle, were declared deceased at the scene and have not yet been formally identified.
Police in the state of Victoria said that the intersection would be closed for “some time” while officers investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision.
The deaths were the fourth and fifth on Victorian roads since Saturday afternoon.
A 49-year-old woman died and four people, including two teenagers, were hospitalized with serious injuries after two cars collided in Trafalgar, over 100 km east of Melbourne, on Sunday evening.
Victoria Police Detective Sergeant Mark Amos said that the 49-year-old woman was traveling with her husband and two children, all of whom were hospitalized, and described her death on Mother’s Day as an “absolute tragedy.”
Earlier on Sunday, a driver was killed in a separate two-car collision west of Melbourne, and on Saturday afternoon, a 53-year-old motorcyclist died and a passenger was airlifted to hospital with life-threatening injuries after colliding with a vehicle in western Victoria.
