Tragedy struck on a busy freeway in Melbourne as a driver lost their life in a bizarre incident, causing significant delays for other motorists. According to authorities, a white truck was traveling towards Altona on the Western Ring Road at around 4pm when a ramp suddenly detached from the back of it.
The ramp then careened across the freeway, colliding with a sedan on the Greensborough-bound lanes near the Furlong Road exit in St Albans. Sadly, the driver of the sedan, who has not yet been identified, passed away on the spot. In a race against time, police are actively searching for the truck driver, who failed to stop at the scene and was last seen heading towards Altona on the same freeway.
It is unclear if the truck driver was aware of the tragic events that unfolded behind them. In light of the accident, all Greensborough-bound lanes on the Ring Road have been shut down between Ballarat Road and Sunshine Avenue. The closure is expected to last for a few hours, and drivers are advised to avoid this stretch of the freeway.
Authorities are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or captured it on camera to come forward and contact Crime Stoppers at 1800 333 000. More details will be shared as they become available. Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of the victim, and we urge everyone to stay safe on the roads.
