Crash kills teen

A 17-year-old Lynbrook driver has died following a collision with a truck in Devon Meadows on Thursday 20 July.

Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives are investigating the circumstances surrounding the fatal collision.

Emergency services were called to the South Gippsland Highway, near Devon Road, following reports of a collision between a truck and car about 9.50pm.

Investigators believe the truck, which was towing a trailer, was performing a right-hand turn at the time of the collision.

The male driver of the truck was taken to hospital for treatment and is expected to be spoken to by police.

South Gippsland Highway was closed while MCIU detectives processed the scene.

Detectives are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the collision or been in the vicinity of the truck with trailer at the time to come forward.

It is believed there were a couple of cars that drove past and may be able to assist with the investigation.
