A 16-YEAR-OLD girl has been struck and killed by a car in Dandenong South and a motorcyclist is in a critical condition following a collision in Bangholme.
Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol Senior Sergeant Scott Roberts said the Dandenong South teen crossed the Dandenong Bypass, just west of Hammond Road, in front of a west-bound vehicle about 9pm on Wednesday 28 October.
“She was pronounced dead at the scene,” he said.
“It’s being looked into.
“It doesn’t appear that there’s any fault on the part of the driver at this point.”
Sen Sgt Roberts said a motorcyclist from Cranbourne West lost control on Worsley Road, Bangholme, and collided with a car about 7.45am on Thursday 29 October.
An Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman said the motorcyclist suffered serious head and chest injuries.
He received a blood transfusion using blood carried on the air ambulance helicopter and was taken to Royal Melbourne Hospital in a critical condition.
Sen Sgt Roberts said officers were investigating the cause of the crash.
“It’s been a bad 12 to 15 hours in Greater Dandenong,” he said.
“We’d had three deaths on the road up this year up until last night.
“Now we’re at four. We’re really hoping that doesn’t go to five.”
