Two dead, one critical following crash in Victoria's north-west

On September 27, a multi-vehicle crash occurred near Mount Drummond Road in Ledcourt, Victoria, about 250 kilometers northwest of Melbourne, resulting in three fatalities and multiple injuries. The collision involved two cars and one truck. A teenager, Tenesha Fieldsend (14), who was returning from a volleyball tournament, died along with married couple Michael Zheng (38) and Angela Wang (31), both healthcare workers living in Horsham.

The crash began when a car driven by a 17-year-old learner driver collided with a truck and then hit another vehicle. Tenesha sustained critical injuries that later proved fatal, while an 11-year-old girl from the same car is still in critical condition. The truck driver was not injured but helped at the scene.

Police are investigating the cause of the crash, considering factors such as fatigue, distraction, and speed. Authorities have identified one victim as Tenesha Fieldsend, a volleyball star who had recently won a bronze medal with her team.
