Community Shocked After Fatal Crash on Princes Highway
A tragic accident occurred on Victoria’s Princes Highway near Kanani when a truck crashed into a rural home, claiming the lives of an 81-year-old man and an 80-year-old woman early this morning.
The crash happened in a close-knit farming area known for its strong community bonds. The 77-year-old truck driver from Portland survived and was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The incident has deeply impacted the local community, which lies near the popular tourist spot, Tower Hill. Police have since closed parts of the highway, redirecting traffic around the area and securing the site for investigation. Authorities are expected to release further details at a press conference around midday.
