Bit of early-morning chaos out near Dimboola this morning, with two trucks having a nasty run-in on the Western Highway!

Luckily, both drivers somehow walked away with just minor injuries – could’ve been a hell of a lot worse!

About 15 CFA crews are flat out battling the blaze that kicked off after the smash. The highway’s shut between Dimboola-Rainbow Rd and High Street, so detours are in place.

Hope the firies get it sorted quick – and thoughts go out to the poor buggers involved!

A quiet evening on the Western Highway turned to tragedy yesterday when a devastating crash near Dimboola claimed the life of an 80-year-old Nhill woman and left her passenger, an 85-year-old man, fighting for survival.

Just after 5pm, a Toyota Hilux towing a hay baler collided with a Mazda sedan. The impact was fatal – the elderly driver of the Mazda died at the scene, while her passenger was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries. The driver of the Hilux, a 58-year-old South Australian man, suffered only minor injuries but now faces serious consequences.

Detectives from the Major Collision Investigation Unit have since charged him with dangerous driving causing death, careless driving, and other traffic offences. He has been bailed to appear before the Horsham Magistrates’ Court tomorrow, as a community mourns a life lost on its roads.

A tragic and devastating collision unfolded on the Western Highway near Dimboola this afternoon, leaving one person dead at the scene. Two cars collided just after 5pm, and while the driver of one vehicle tragically lost their life, their identity remains unconfirmed.

The passenger in that car was airlifted to hospital with injuries that, thankfully, are not life-threatening. The other driver was also taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The wreckage of the incident has left the community in shock, and police are reportedly working to piece together what happened. The investigation continues, with the Western Highway between Dimboola and Horsham being closed as the scene is processed.
