The sole survivor of a ‘horror’ fatal crash in Victoria’s west is showing signs of recovery in hospital, as the community mourns the loss of four people who died in the tragedy.
Two teenage girls, two teenage boys, and a woman aged in her 30s were all involved in the crash outside Hamilton on Saturday.
A 17-year-old girl, the sole survivor of the crash, is still fighting for her life in the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, but there is hope that she will make a recovery.
Police believe the driver of the car lost control of the vehicle on Wannon-Nigretta Falls Road, near the small community of Bochara, before hitting a tree.
Four of the crash victims attended secondary schools in Hamilton, including Baimbridge and Monivae colleges.
The mother of one of the teenage victims, year 10 student Joshua Elmes, took to social media to express her grief and try and raise funds for the families’ funeral expenses.
“I am just a parent who needs to help in some way in memory of my son,” Lee Elmes wrote.
“I would love to help the other grieving parents who have lost angels, or have one badly hurt.”
Ms Elmes wrote that the fundraiser was to help with “funeral costs” for “the grieving families” and “any other expenses in the next coming weeks and months”.
- “I just want to say that our angels are in heaven and no longer in pain, and we will one day see them all again,’ she said.
