Two weeks prior to the Footscray collision, four people were killed when their Kia Carnival burst into flames after hitting a tree in the Piries region, near Mansfield in northwest Victoria.
Police believe the seasonal agricultural workers from the Pacific Islands were returning to Mansfield, where they were employed by crop grower Murphy Fresh, from a friend’s house in nearby Macs Cove and may have been drinking.
One of the occupants, Samoan David Gasologa, had only recently become engaged.
‘The fact we’ve also surpassed lives lost for all of last year and reached the highest number of fatalities in 15-years is just truly tragic,’ Glenn Weir, the state’s Road Policing Assistant Commissioner, said shortly after the accident.
‘This should be a wake up call to everyone – don’t think that road trauma can’t happen to you, because it can.’
