A traumatic road accident saw a Croydon woman lose her life last week in Lysterfield, one man airlifted to hospital with major injuries, and another taken in for treatment under escort by the Police.
Police investigation into the male driver involved in the head on collision has resulted in the charge of dangerous driving causing death and the 22-year-old Malvern driver will face court for it this week.
The man was charged following the crash which happened in Lysterfield late on Thursday night, 11 September.
Emergency services were called to Lysterfield Road around 11pm after a Toyota Hilux and a Hyundai i30 collided head-on on Lysterfield Road, north of Wellington Road.
The trained responders at the scene performed CPR, but tragically, the driver of the Hyundai, a 26-year-old woman from Croydon, died at the scene despite efforts to save her.
A 47-year-old man from Ferntree Gully, who was a passenger in the Hilux, was flown to hospital with serious injuries and according to updates by Police media on Saturday 13 September, he remains in care.
The Malvern Hilux driver was also taken to hospital with minor injuries and later charged with dangerous driving causing death.
He has been released on bail and is due to face Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 16 September.
