Fatal crash: witnesses wanted

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH

POLICE are appealing for witnesses into the death of a 20-year-old man who died in a horror crash in Narre Warren.
The driver from Narre Warren was travelling north along Narre Warren North Road in a stolen Holden Commodore sedan when he lost control of it.
The car crashed into the garage of a youth information centre in Webb Street, just before 3.30am on Tuesday 29 March.
Police believe the man was driving at high speed before crossing grass land, smashing down a fence and hitting the brick wall where the car subsequently caught fire.
The driver was rushed to The Alfred hospital in a critical condition, with life threatening injuries, where he later died.
The car was allegedly stolen from a Cranbourne property earlier that morning.
There have been 80 fatalities on Victorian roads so far this year, up from 64 at the same time last year.
Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
