Police probe crash

DETECTIVES from the Major Collision Investigation Unit are still at the scene of a fatal collision that occurred in Dixons Creek last night (Sunday).
It is believed a semi-trailer jack-knifed on the Melba Highway, which caused it to collide with two other vehicles heading in the opposite direction about 8.20pm.
A Dandenong woman aged in her fifties, the sole occupant of a Mitsubishi van, died at the scene.
A 29-year-old female driver from Pakenham Upper and her passenger, a 21-year-old Berwick woman, were in a Nissan Navara towing a horse float.
They were both taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
One horse died at the scene and the other was put down by a local ranger.
The truck driver, a 41-year-old Swan Hill man, was taken to The Alfred hospital in a serious condition.
The section of Melba Highway between Healesville-Kinglake Road and Old Healesville Road is expected to be blocked until further notice.
