Detectives have charged a driver following a fatal collision in Lucas in August last year.
It’s alleged a silver Mazda sedan collided with a white Toyota Prado on Carngham Road near Finchs Road just after 7pm.
A passenger from the Mazda, a 6-year-old Winter Valley child, died at the scene.
A second passenger in the same vehicle, a 13-year-old Winter Valley child, was airlifted to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, whilst the driver of the Toyota, a 78-year-old Haddon man, was taken to hospital also with non-life-threatening injuries.
The Mazda driver, a 42-year-old Winter Valley woman, was hit with numerous charges today including ‘unrestrained child’.
She’ll appear at the Ballarat Magistrates Court tomorrow after being released on bail.
