A child from Winter Valley has died following a fatal crash in Lucas on Saturday night.
It’s believed a Mazda sedan collided with a Toyota Prado on Carngham Road, near Finch’s Road, just after 7pm.
The 6-year-old died at the scene.
Another 13-year-old passenger in the Mazda was airlifted to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Both the 41-year-old Mazda driver and the 78-year-old Toyota driver were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The fatal crash comes just days after a motorcyclist died in a collision at Mannibadar, west of Ballarat.
The state’s road toll stands at 176, compared to the 175 lives lost on the roads at the same time last year.
Investigations remain ongoing, with anyone who witnessed the incident or has dashcam footage urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
