A teenage girl is fighting for life as police probe a single-vehicle crash that killed four others in regional Victoria.
Police remained at the scene of the crash on Wannon-Nigretta Falls Road, Bochara on Saturday evening after the car with five people on board lost control and hit a tree.
The crash was reported by a passer-by about 9.30am, police said.
Two females and two males died at the scene, and a fifth passenger was flown to The Alfred hospital, where she remains in a serious condition on Sunday morning.
The two females and two males who died in the crash are yet to be formally identified and their ages have not been confirmed.
The teenage girl sustained upper body injuries in the crash on the rural road, which has a 100km/h speed limit.
The crash is being investigated by detectives from the major collision unit and the area remains cordoned off.
There have been 128 deaths on Victoria’s roads this year to date, 32 more than at the same time in 2022.
Premier Daniel Andrews said police were always looking to learn from trends but urged Victorians to drive to the conditions as winter approaches.
“Please just take a little bit longer to get there but getting there is the really important thing,” he told reporters on Sunday.
